I'm not a callmaker but really like yellowheart lid with black limba box or bloodwood lid with either black limba or butternut for the box.

You are exactly right Al.

True enuff that nothing works ALL the time. There are so many proven combo's out there. But I guess I am just "old school"...ya just can't beat a good walnut or cherry lid on a good piece of poplar or butternut.  Mix em how ya want, they are usually solid.   ;)

Hen box Teak with a Snake Wood paddle but Macassar over Holly  or Bloodwood over Walnut both make a good combo.  I have a short box Al built with Bloodwood over Mineral Poplar that is simply badass.
