[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2504587, member: 91783"] American black walnut carries a good tone . If you put it in a good wood stabilizer so that the moisture content stays the same and it doesn't swell or shrink then work it , it has a mellower tone . Wood stabilizer works best when under a vacuum . I then let it stand for a week or two work it then use a good polyurethane finish on my walnut . Bill Austin made and sold howlers out of 1/2 " pvc pipe many years ago when he was in Rawlins Wyoming . I don't know how long he has been gone from this world sometime in the early 80's if I remember correctly . He was a wealth of knowledge on coyote language as was Vern Dorn who also was a coyote denning king . I was fortunate enough to be able to visit with both of these men for a little bit as well as Craig O'Gorman all legends in the world of coyote control in their own rights . You can get some walnut dowels on the internet that are already cured and ready to work by treating them with stabilizer then turning them on a lathe , just look at hard wood dowels . Cherry is also a good American wood for calls that can be bought as dowels . [/QUOTE]
