[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2504746, member: 91783"] As long as they are cured well they will work . When I was younger and just home from the service I was given some black walnut from Iowa that was from a barn . The timbers in the barn were made of it here in Wyoming and had been freighted in by wagon . They were a rich dark nearly black brown . That wood was beautiful but was so old that it was brittle and you needed to treat it to keep it from cracking when you worked it . It made some very fine howlers and calls . With the hand calls I feel it's slightly more of a challenge . As you first need to learn how to get the sounds that you want from them consistently and repeatably . Open or closed reed calls you can make a ton of different sounds with just a couple of them .
