I think most guys would agree that red cedar and poplar each make great sounding calls.
So I decided to combine them in one of my Half'n'Half calls with a Bloodwood paddle.
Also the other Box is a Tigerwood/Poplar fc.

Beautiful. A lot of craftsmanship and thought in those calls.

Very Nice
Beautiful Call! I especially LOVE the ingenuity and incorporation of 2 different woods for the rails, which should give the box 2 very different and distinct hens in this box. Come up with an interchangeable lid system and this one box could have 4 or even 6 different hens in 1 box call. I Love how you have thought outside the BOX! Very inventive Bill!

I made a few of these several years ago. The big difference is I used Poplar and Mahogany two woods that sound
similar so there was only a slight variation in tone. This time with Red Cedar and Poplar there is a huge
difference in sound. With this combination it is like having two different calls.
