The top one is a Hawian Koa box with a Zebrawood paddle. It worked out really well! It is my favorite out of the 3. The middle one is a Popular box with a Walnut paddle. The bottom one is a Red Cedar box with a Zebrawood paddle.

 Sorry about the poor pic!

Thanks guys!!!

I couldn't get my hands on any Hondorus Mahogany and happened to come across the Koa and figured I would give it a shot. It really worked out good and is a real nice lookin wood. I have plenty more of this stuff and can't wait to cut a few more out of it.

Here are a couple better pics.

Tom, those are great looking longboxes. Can you put some sound files with your calls?

 Problem is I am not to sure how to go about making a sound file. I am not to sure on what I will need. I will look in to it one of these days. To me a call doesn't have to look good it just has to sound good, that is what counts. Pretty doesn't call up turkeys!

I appolagize for teasing you like this..

While I agree that sound is very important and pretty doesn't call turkeys, the details put into the call tell about the person who made it.  Great looking calls!
