What type of wood would be a good choice for soft purrs and tree yelps on a slate surface? I'd kind of like to find one with a flared tip. Thanks!

Cedar or hickory for me. I also have a holly that can whisper quiet nicely.

dogwood...when you can find someone who has some big enough to make a striker...really good subtle purrs...

For the soft stuff, I prefer Butternut or Sycamore.

I just got a Cedar from Callmakerman and it is awesome for soft calling.

I whittled a striker from black cherry that can get nice and soft.
