Ken, I like 'em both, and I am a sucker for curly maple!! But, that cocobolo is very, very hard to beat!!

Ken,

Do only wooden ducks answer the calls? :eek::D I know, it was corny, but someone had to ask! :D

They both are very nice duck calls...........I agree with John K. .......I really like the curly maple, but the other one is a beaut as well. I wonder if the ducks can tell them apart ;)

Im going to mix up a jar of the vinegar stain for some of this maple, it has some good curl.

Roger, I never owned or used a duck call until I was in my mid 30's. As a kid, I would jump shoot ducks off every pond and creek within 5 miles of where I grew up.

They're both nice, but I like the softer finish on the cocobolo.

Nice calls. Lots of woodies in the ponds and swamps I used to hunt.
