I Need a Turkey Call Plan- a plan for a wooden box w a Paddle. My great grandfather had a turkey call like this that he made and used, & several more generations after him used the same call.

I found pictures on a couple websites: http://www.customcalls.com/makeaturkeyboxcall.htm

If anyone has wooden turkey call plans with actual measurements they have tried, or link to an online plan for a wooden turkey call, Please share.

I am not interested in slate calls, or diaphragm calls, ONLY WOOD... mainly due to sentimental reasons associated with this call. I know i can buy a mass produced wood call made in China for $29.99, but i would rather build it. If a wood call plan is out there that is different than the "old paddle", that is fine too.

thanks for any information you can provide.- COB (Cobble, Cobble)

Years ago I spent a lot of time making box calls and other wood friction calls. Some worked well some were flops. The fun part was figuring it out for myself. Funny thing is, you can make 5 calls all the same size outta the same piece of wood and they will all sound different. I had my best luck using cedar, poplar and cherry.
