RE: boxcall woods
Neil used Butternut for the box with a Red Cedar lid alot of the time. Combanations of those are good. I make my own calls and like Sumac with a Cedar lid, makes a nice soft sound. If your looking for something a little raspy and higher piched look at walnut or the harder woods. Tribute Custom Calls.

RE: boxcall woods
Neil used primarly soft woods, Butternut was definately one of his favorites. I've seen several Butternut Boat Paddles lidded in Cherry also. Alaskan Yellow Cedar was also a wood that he preffered butfound itdifficult to get his hands on. Both are great sounding woods. Butternut will generaly have a more mature hen sound and can be lidded with just about anthing. Here's a look at a few that I've built.

Mahogany also makes a fine call and can be lidded with just about anything.
Here are a couple of those that I've built.

Picked up a new "long box" by TPhunter. He callsithis "Burrieville Bomber", and I first heard this call in the spring woods this year by another fellow who bought one. Completely fooled my ears as to thinking a real hen was near the deeks. Here's a pic of that call.
