I made my first box call this weekend. I used Rosewood for the handle and bottom and Purpleheart for the sides and ends. It is a glued call, I followed Chip Brown's Plans from his website www.calltrader.com.
It sounds okay - still needs a little tuning, but it does have a turkey sound. I still have to apply a finish, but I figured I'd get it to sound good first.
I went pretty plain with this one, since it is my first.
