The symphony of the woods
At Creech's Calls, every handcrafted turkey pot call begins with a carefully selected piece of wood. Discover how the unique essence of each timber creates a distinct voice, helping you speak the language of the wild. The main thing you'll notice is how the tone is different with every wood type.
The mellow whisper of cedar
Cedar wood is renowned for producing a soft, often higher-pitched, and exceptionally clear sound. Its natural oils give it a distinct aroma and help in delivering crisp, subtle purrs and clucks. A favorite for delicate calling, cedar calls offer an inviting, mellow tone that can draw in even the most wary gobblers. The quality of sound produced is often described as sweet and pure.
The vibrant clarity of river ash
River ash offers a bright and lively tone, cutting through the silence with remarkable clarity. Its medium density allows for a responsive surface, perfect for sharp yelps and precise cuts that demand attention. This wood type provides a unique, crisp sound profile, making your calls stand out. The distinct quality of sound produced ensures your messages are heard loud and clear.
The deep resonance of walnut
Walnut is a classic choice for a reason. Its dense structure provides a deep, rich, and resonant tone, often described as throaty and full-bodied. It's incredibly versatile, capable of producing a wide range of realistic turkey vocalizations with excellent volume and a distinctive sound. Hunters appreciate the full-bodied quality of sound produced by walnut calls for its authentic replication of turkey talk.
The balanced brilliance of cherry
Cherry wood delivers a beautiful balance between warmth and brightness. It produces a clear, sweet, and often slightly higher-pitched sound than walnut, making it ideal for soft tree calls and crisp, realistic yelps that carry well. The fine grain and natural luster of cherry also add to its appeal, creating a call that sounds as good as it looks. The quality of sound produced is remarkably balanced and brilliant.
The exotic depth of sapele
Sapele, often compared to mahogany, offers a warm, complex, and distinct voice. It brings a unique depth and projection to calls, with a smooth, slightly darker tone that can add an exotic richness to your turkey language. Its interlocked grain creates beautiful visual patterns, making each call a piece of art. The unique quality of sound produced by sapele offers a truly sophisticated call.
