Blue Mahoe is the rage this year in pot calls. Last year it was zebrawood. Blue Mahoe wood calls disappear faster then a swarm of  hungry termites attack.
Wondering why we don't see more box calls made out of this hot material,,dosent it work has a paddle or box option???

I have a paddle that I made from Blue Mahoe, I'm trying to find the right combination to match it with.

Pretty sure Marlin Watkins makes a box with Blue Mahoe.

I bet that paddle would look cool on Alaskan yellow cedar longbox,,don't know about sound

100% put that lid on a nice Elder body and sell it to me.

The lid is for my new handled short box. I tried it on a black limba box and didn't care for it. I have a cedar box that I'm working on that I'm going to try next.

Got one of these and it's great box!

I've done one over butter nut and it would RUN. I'm working a box now that'll have persimmon over it.

Mahoe paddle over BN box? That sounds like a combo that would work really well. I'll try it after I finish my BM paddle over cedar.

I have a bloodwood over blue mahoe short box from Neal Impson that is killer. I also have a bloodwood over mahoe long box from Frank Kruer that is sweet.

Frank's bloodwood/mahoe is a killer!

Would a blue mahoe and zebrawood combo work or sound good??,, combining two of the hottest pot call woods into a box,,,a blue mahoe box with a zebrawood paddle would be a real looker.

I don't see why it wouldn't work or sound good. From my experience with BM, if you make the box out of BM, most paddles should run well on it. If you use BM for the paddle you will probably need to use butternut, cedar or some kind of softer wood for the box. I tried a BM paddle on a black limba box and didn't like the sound, I threw a purple heart paddle on the box and it was killer.
