What about Cedar makes it so sweet sounding on a boxcall? With so many different types of wood out there, it really is the undisputed champion.

I'm not a longbox expert. Only have 5 but my very favorite is a McKamey bloodwood over mineral poplar. I've heard more than what I own but stand by that longbox

Here's a long box in Spalted Sycamore from Firedup LT  Pack.
It makes a great sounding call.

No trees were hurt in the sending of this message, however a large number of electrons were highly inconvenienced.

Ralph Snodgrass walnut over butternut, full range of turkeys from clean sounding young hen to raspy gobbler yelps and clucks

Billy Bush osage over butternut and Ralph Snodgrass osage over sassafras, both great sounding versatile calls.

Marlin Watkins makes a mora over persimmon that, if there's a better call in the world, I haven't heard it...His ipe over butternut is something to hear also...
