fiberglass? never heard of that. If a person is allergic to fiberglass should he not try a fiberglass striker?
If it's finished with a paint job I'm ok, but if it's raw.... not fun *wha*

Black Locust,Bocote,Yellow Heart,Osage,Purple Heart, Wenge and Dymondwood. I carry at least 4 with me most times because yea never know. I almost forgot Ebony. Awesome on glass. Bill

Ok, now I understand

I love persimmon and canarywood, but I find those strikers and most strikers might play well on some glass or slate pots and not others. To me each pot is different at what plays best on it.. I often find that two strikers of the same wood from two different call makers play different as well size, shape ect..
-
Osage
Pecan
Purpleheart

As for the fiberglass striker. It's was said to be a carbon arrow cut down.
Not really it's a fiberglass rod with a Blackwood head. I turn and sand the rod to the desired shape and add the Blackwood for weight and balance. I do finish the fiberglass rod to keep form getting the fiberglass on my hands dirung use. One of these strikers only gets better when it wet, the wetter it gets the better it runs on Copper or Aluminum that is. You see the water help to keep the tip from filling up and slicking over. Deadly combo.
-
I use purpleheart, black locus, bocote, olive, hickory, alowood, and dymondwood on all my surfaces.
-
I do not own a single striker made from those woods. hint hint.
Here are mine...in no particular order. Padauk, Zebrawood, Canarywood and Wenge.
-
I've got a Honduran Rosewood that plays good on every call I own. You can't mention wood types without considering head weight. This is as important as wood type.

Mark,
I'm surprised you have not mentioned an ivory tipped striker.......Steve makes a good one. RkLu
I run mostly one-piece strikers so, the head weight does make such a huge difference...

I do like the ivory, but they require a little more work. They seem to slick up a little faster. I do however carry 5 or 6 of them with me.
-
Osage, maple, walnut, hickory and hen bone are the strikers I always carry.
Of those, either the osage or the maple are my 'go-to' strikers.
*cheers*

I will keep it simmple..................and sweet>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I use AFRICAN BLACKWOOD on all, and oh ya, is my favorite wood fer strikers.
-
We all have favorite woods. But none of that matters if the call doesn't like the striker!

Got that right. The only exception was that Kingwood Striker, played well on every call I ever put it on!

I have a couple of green Poplar strikers that sound pretty darn good.
-
I had a Silvers, morado striker that was the best I've ever used on any material.......lost that one and my Silvers birds eye maple is the go to striker for any pot call I use.

My favorite striker would have to be the one that runs best on the call in hand.. They are all good!!
