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!
You did .....purpleheart over osage

I love walnut in any way shape or form.  IMO one of the best all around woods for box calls. 

Walnut over Pecan, Maple over Walnut, Walnut over Walnut, Walnut over poplar, Cherry over Walnut, Walnut over Mahogany.   

I also like Maple over Cedar,  and I hate to say it, but Osage over Poplar, plus many more.

Did I mention that I like walnut.

Probably the best answer given above.  With that Said, I have a Black Limba and Yellow Heart call that really sounds great.  They are instruments and what ever sounds like the hen you have in your mind will work....most of the time.
