I've been putting off doing this for a while, and finally decided to get 'er done today. It's a Cost Style paddle call made from Poplar with a Mahogany lid checkered in our signature "Brickcheck" pattern. I'm thinking about using this pattern on all my paddle calls from now on. Not sure. What do you guys think? Thanks for lookin'.

Thanks buddy, I figured you would know I meant no harm. I got my first SS longbox last week and to be honest with you it sounds so good I wouldn't care what the heck was on it :)

Oh yea, I knew you were just stating your personal taste buddy. That's what I'm looking for, honest opinions. I like Bills idea, offer both and everyone can have whichever they like. Thanks for the input everyone.

As always ,I love the looks of your "brickcheck" . Neil Cost said that you can't do anything to the lid on a long box or it will hurt the sound. How do you like the sound of it? Can you notice a difference between that lid and an un-checkered one? None the less it is a great looking lid, great job, again!

Bob,
I've done longboxes with and without checkering on the lid. I've yet to find one that it hurt the sound of, and some I feel it actually helped the sound. It depends on the wood the lid is made of in my opinion. For example, a cedar lid, which is light to begin with would have to be left a touch thicker to allow for the removal of wood from checkering.. I've experimented with the checkering quite a bit, and tune the box before the lid is checkered. Honestly, I can tell very little if any difference after the checkering is done. If there is a difference, it's usually in the form of more vibration in the paddle which is a good thing. This is only my experience on my box. I can't speak for anyone else one this subject, just what works well for me. Thanks for the comments and opinions everyone, it's appreciated! *up*

Looks great Al. I really think you should use it on the paddles but maybe save that for special or limited editions. Go ahead and use it on mine ;)---Jason
