Title: Tulip Poplar?
Post by: fargobox on February 10, 2011, 09:49:46 AM
So many great calls are made from Yellow Poplar, how come we don't see calls made from Tulip Poplar?  We have them growing a lot around here in upstate NY I also know they do well down to the MD line and they all grow straight as an arrow, I mean straight and upwards of 100 ft tall in many cases--now that's a mess of box calls! So my thought would be with such beautiful straight grain, why not use it for box calls?  I suspect it might be too soft, but doubtful considering how soft yellow poplar and butternut can be.  I have never thought about looking for a source since I never see calls posted with its use.

Yep Jeff I know, but I honestly thought they were two different trees.  I never made the connection between the tree I always see in the woodland and the wood used for calls, etc.

I hear tell Walnut and Chestnut do pretty well also *cheers*
