OK, I have built "dozens" of box turkey calls from many different wood species, but I just now am trying my hand at making some scratch box calls. My question is if anyone has made these what are you using for the striker?

What material are you using on the box? I have all kinds of slabbed rock that make noise. Thinking about making one myself.

We did build along and trades here then the updated LW/Photobucket lost all the photos.I make them from cedar the most recognized is the Kenny Morgan scratch box he used Osage body mahogany lid and cherry block for the "striker"

My first couple I've made with a red elm sound box with a Cherry wood striker panel. I'll try using some cherry for a striker block and see what happens. I'll post a pic or two when I get done.

I used cedar to make scratch calls. As far as strikers you should experiment to see what sounds best.

Here is two I made out of cedar. Nothing fancy but sounds good. I bought the other one.
