Guys, dont forget one of the new things. ACRYLIC STABILIZED WOOD!!
Whether it be one of mine or someone elses. Stabilized wood is liiquid acrylic forced into wood with hydraulic pressure. This fills all the pores of the wood and maintaines the look of the wood, but with some of the protection characteristics of acrylic. It does not let the moisture in to swell the wood.
The best of both worlds.
Keep that in mind when you are looking for a new call.
Alot of the smaller call makers, like myself and others will make stabilized calls. You may have a hard time finding it from the big manufacturers.
