I was lucky enough to get this striker in the mail the other day from a very good friend. It is a handcarved boat paddle striker made by Craig Harned AKA decoykrvr. Craig does not use a lathe to make these strikers, instead he uses a grinder with a carving attachment and a lot of elbow grease to make these. He has told me numerous times about his strikers, and I finally talked him into sending me one. These things are the real deal. This one is a mystery wood that I believe to be manzanita and Craig believes to a wood named Mascarey which looks very similar also. This striker grips every call that I have ran it on and gives a great raspy second note on the yelps along with some great volume. I am very thankful that I have the pleasure of knowing Craig and also owning one of his strikers. Thank you very much.      Ryan

If I had a dollar for every gobbler I thought I fooled I'd be well off!

It's about 1 1/2 inches wide. Gives it a lot of surface area, which I think is why it works so good. It also takes him about 4 hours to make on of these by hand.
