Title: What WOOD
Post by: Hawkspur on April 30, 2024, 09:42:11 AM
I am searching for a darker wood with good character. What would you use?
Bonus if you share a pot call picture of your choice.

Here is the story: I have a local guy whom got me into turkey hunting back in my youth days. He has started making pot calls and I would like to support him as a way to thank him for getting me into this addiction. It would be cool to go full circle and get a turkey with a call from the guy that got me into the sport.

Thank you for your suggestions.

Walnut is the classic choice.

A buddy of mine made me a purple slate in a Wenge pot and it's absolutely beautiful and one of the best slate calls I've ever heard!!
