I've decided to finally take the plunge and order one of these SS box calls I've been reading so many good things about, what wood combinations from them have you guys tried that you like the most? 
Thanks in advance for the advice!

My boy has a maple/butternut that is killer and I have a Maple/Spanish Cedar that is killer.  Cannot go wrong with a call from Mr. Al and Josh.

I've got a jatoba/poplar that I love. A friend has a purpleheart/butternut that sounds amazing too. As davisd9 said you can't go wrong with them

I have many different combos from Al and Josh. They are all outstanding! I would PM or call Al and ask him.

You'll be pleased with whatever you decide on!

Anything by them is good but I have mineral poplar and butternut for my box

Ive had a lot of luck with a cherry over butternut from Al and Josh, but whatever you end up going with it will be all turkey! Never heard one from those guys that wasnt!

I have several from the SS boys and like everyone says you can't go wrong with any of their boxes. My favorite is a Maple over Walnut. It does it all!!

I really like the Kwila over Butternut field grade short box.

I just ordered one as well, I couldn't make up my mind on the wood either, I just told Al what look I was going for, and I wanted something easy to run. I told him to surprise me, after all he is the call maker. Can't wait to get it. I'll post a few pics when it gets here.

Just pick what you like.  Al and Josh put plenty of turkey in all their calls.

I would give them a call, tell them where and what you are hunting, and the type of sound you are looking for...  It has been my experience that custom call makers will gladly talk to you, and that is your best bet for getting a call with the sound and look you want.

And not only have a learned a little about the calls they make, but most will "talk a little turkey" if they have the time.  Whether I am ordering an expensive box call, or a far less expensive diaphragm, I have enjoyed talking to some of the different call makers and getting their input on calls and hunting...
Did I do that?
