Title: Lynch Foolproof wood type?
Post by: agent eight seven O on April 13, 2016, 08:39:39 AM
 I just purchased a Lynch Foolproof box call. I was wondering what kind of wood the paddle and box is made out of. Thanks in advance for any info.

This is correct. It's a all mahogany box call. I have 3 of the older 1970 made ones. Killed a lot of birds with them. The newer ones don't sound as good to me.

 Sorry, I can't post a picture. Not that technologically advanced. Now that you mention it, I would say the paddle and box is two different woods. Thank you.

The Liberty ones that are just foolproof 101 are all mahogany. The deluxe version has a walnut lid. Same as the world champions. However, I had heard that in the early years, that some of them could have been made from old pallets. Course back then before exotics and all came into focus, who knows what those pallets could have been made from.......
