Vest worthy Short box

[lonnie sneed jr.]

I love the Twisting Creek, my other would be a Jerry (Dad) White short box.  All calls listed are good ones.

If you haven't bought yet, take a look at Beard Hunter calls, I've got a long box and short box from Russell and they're both awesome.  He's going to make me a custom short box this summer when he has some time to try something different too.

I also got a Halloran short box in Nashville that I love, and it will see time in the woods as well.  I would buy from Marlin Watkins, SS or Harwell without question as well.

You won't go wrong with an SS field grade, you can't beat the sound quality for the price, especially if you aren't concerned with checkering... Get yourself an SS field grade, you wont be disappointed

I think tomorrow I'll call Shoemaker and ask about a Yellowheart over Mahogany field box.. Still  considering some of the others, really like the sounds of Davids Macassar Poplar box as well

Anyone have preffered wood combinations

Tell Al that Derick sent ya, I've been paying his bills the past few months, haha...  I have a Halloran Macassar/Poplar, it sounds good but in my opinion, the SS short boxes sound better.  Their field grades are half the price of David's and you'll likely get one quicker than ya would a Halloran.  As far as combo, I'd go with one of the classics, maple/butternut, walnut/butternut, walnut/poplar, maple/mahogany, walnut/poplar, maple/poplar... Anything you get from them is gonna sound awesome!

Thanks Derick, wood choice is going to be tough. If I can't decide and buy two I'll blame you

I have a single sided maple box that Al and Josh built.  I really like the sound and ease of use.

Thanks Derick, wood choice is going to be tough. If I can't decide and buy two I'll blame you

Best part if ya can't decide is 2 of their field grades are the same cost as 1 from all the other guys

Well I called and talked to Al, told him call makers choice on wood type since I'm buying for sound and not for looks. Should be about two weeks

Congrats.  I'm sure ya won't be disappointed. Be sure to post pics when ya receive it!
