Watkins Fiddle boxes

[BABS9]

Figured I would start a thread to show of your Watkins Fiddle boxes! They've become my favorite box calls. Just got on his list for two more and looking for some combo ideas. What are your favorites? Here's two I have Bloodwood/Mineral Stained Poplar and Bubinga/Applewood. Both sound incredible.

If you don't mind me asking, how does this box sound? I ordered this very combo a few weeks ago and Marlin said they turned out good. Is it mature hen or young hen?
Thanks

I would lean towards mature hen...I believe when I picked he sent me 3 choices along with sound files. It starts high to low rasp down lower. PM me and I can send you my number in NY and I can play it for you....I'm sure he can send you file also. It was a pleasure dealing with him.

Yup he told me mid summer a few weeks ago. That's pretty good. I've been on his list at times that has taken almost a year. I ordered a kwila over poplar and an ebony over butternut.

Those are both great boxes.  My ebony over butternut saw a lot of vest time last year.  The Kwila over Poplar sounds almost identical to my bloodwood over beech, only it doesn't have as much rasp.

My sons future box- kwila/mineral poplar, maple/mahogany, yellowheart/black limba, snakewood/wormy butternut, bloodwood/apple, and the box I hunt with bloodwood/mineral poplar.

Love Marlin's boxes!
