If you're set on poplar I'd get with Lee Smith (Frozen Crow ). Just got a jatoba over poplar from him and I'm very happy with it.

My money would've been on either SS or spring creek. Since Mike mentioned looking into someone else, my money is on either SS or whoever he mentioned. I've got a Mabry call that I bought for my dad that has a poplar body and walnut lid. Dad decided to take a different Mabry call with a walnut bottom and purpleheart lid. If you can get to Georgia and get the poplar walnut from Lonnie, it's worth every penny.

Just a few of the top short box makers out there. Some have longer wait times than others. These guys make handmade calls.

Since we could literally name dozens of call makers that will build a great one, the first place I suggest starting is to decide how long you can wait and then how much you want or are willing to spend. Since wait times will vary from a few days to 2+ years and price could be $50 to $250 this will really help us narrow things down.

I have had calls from Albert Paul, SS, and Spring Creek... Liked em' all.
I lost the Albert Paul call, and it of course is the most pricey call (and the only turkey call I have ever lost)... I liked the tone and pitch of the call though.
SS calls are in the middle as far as price, and I promise that call will be in my vest when I hunt.
Spring Creek makes a darn good call for the price. I requested a high-pitch call, and that is what he sent me, and now I feel it is just a bit too high-pitched... But, it has been given credit for drumming up a gobble when other calls would not.
Did I do that?
Fly fishermen are born honest, but they get over it.
