It's probably best I do not answer this one...  I love Osage... does that shock anyone :)

One thing I've noticed with whoever you talk to, don't knock the Poplar calls.  Poplar/Cherry and Poplar/Walnut are hard to beat.  In fact, I think Poplar as a box makes as fine of a call as many others out there.  I have a many of calls with Poplar.

Here are a few of my favorite paddles and boxes.

Paddles:
Bloodwood
Osage
Walnut
Ebony

Boxes:
Walnut
Osage
Poplar
Alaskan Yellow Cedar

Bird last year I shot with an Osage/Bloodwood call.  Year before was an all walnut caller.  All walnut is a deadly deadly combination!

I feel like I'm leaving a combo out and disgracing it...  so many to choose from  *peep*  This is my opinion only and I doubt very many people like my sound from a box call!  Loud and Proud!

I'd like to hear that too! I have some on order but will probably awhile.  It seems like a walnut paddle is used alot, I have a couple, my favorite is a cypress / walnut. Has anybody got a sassafras / walnut, might try to get one of them too.

Yes I do.  I think I have one from SS and Firedup.  They are both KILLER calls!!!  I almost forgot I had them!
