Title: Question
Post by: wmn2 on February 25, 2016, 06:25:35 PM
Hey all, I just ordered tulipwood, osage orange, and cedar strikers for my pot calls. Any of you have personal experience with the tulipwood or osage? What type of calls you run them on? What sounds they make best? I ordered the cedar to use on my slate due to things I've read on here about them. i chose the other two just for something different and I've read a little about them on here as well.

Thanks for the help

I HAD A tulipwood WITH A MUSHROOM STRIKER END AND PLAYS ON EVERYTHING I HAVE
I HAVE A CERAMIC /SLATE AND PLAYS BOTH SIDES LIKE THERES NO TOMORROW ......
CEDAR IS MORE MILD PLAYING
OSAGE PLAYS ON SOME OF MY CALLS AND OTHER calls  NOT SO .....

Tulip is awesome. I use it primarily on glass/Crystal calls but it works well on everything I've tried

You will love both the Osage and Tulipwood.  The Cedar will work good for early morning stuff.

Yea I got te cedar mainly for quiet calling and close in. I'm glad the tulip will play most any call. I have a slate and a glass. I've got purple heart and cherry strikers too. The purple plays awesome on both and the cherry plays well on the slate. The cherry makes awesome purrs.

Tulipwood is one of my most "do all" strikers. Like others said, plays everything - slate, glass, titanium for me. If that was just a "guess" order, you guessed right!

The tulipwood wasn't as much of a guess as the osage orange. I've seen a lot of people on here talk about tulip, but I just wanted some more details.

I like all three you mentioned. the tulip is the most versital on most surfaces. I have a couple of calls , a copper and a glass that the osage cant be beat on.

I have an osage striker hand whittled by an old turkey hunter from West Virginia.  Nothing fancy, just purely functional.  It runs everything I own and been with me for many seasons.
