Mississippi Scratch Box

[Beards and Hooks]

  I don't see Tom Crooks name mentioned on here a whole lot, Mississippi Scratch Boxes are great sounding and easy playing. I have picked some fine scratchers from him in the past 4 months. I have cherry, walnut, cedar, mahogany, and myrtle wood. Can't go wrong ordering from him good scratchers at a good price.

Tom lives a couple of counties over from me and is a fine man who makes a fine call. I have one in mahogany and one in walnut, with a variety of strikers.

Anyone try his alaskan yellow cedar and do you like it or what wood do you like best thanks

Got a alaskan yellow cedar and a mahogany yesterday both sound good. Anyone know how different the myrtle wood sounds between these Thanks

Hi, Jeff,
Your mahogany call should be pretty close to Oregon Myrtle in sound.  OM is more like walnut.  Has a bit more "bite."
I like the OM and walnut at the end of the season when the gobblers are listening for the young jennys that haven't been bred yet.
That being said, they are good calls all season in the right hands.  I still mourn the loss of a walnut scratch box that I left in the rain in Tombigbee River bottoms several years ago.  I notch the backbone of my calls with each kill, and that one was pretty darn hacked up when it perished!
