If you are purchasing a custom call, I would talk to the call-maker and go off his/her recommendation. The single largest benefit of ordering a custom call from a custom call maker is... Well customizing it.
If you want something that sounds a bit different, I might also consider a scratch box call... Some of the best cutts, clucks, and purrs, and a unique sound to the yelp (which I do feel is very realistic after some practice).
Did I do that?
Fly fishermen are born honest, but they get over it.

Walnut over butternut would be my choice, If you want a loud ,raspy throaty sound use bloodwood.

Zebrawood is such a hot trend now in pots but I don't see it used in box calls?? Is it too expensive or not well suited to boxes.

Two callmakers that I consider some of the best told me their favorite woods for a short box were walnut over mahogany. I had each make me one in that combo and I carry these calls as much as any I have.

One of my favorites is a sassafras/cedar combo, I've taken a lot of birds with that combo!
