I'm just wondering, out of the three woods, which would you prefer for a single reed duck call??? Why ??? The choices are, cocobola,african blackwood and bois d' Arc. All three seem to be good choices, just wondering on preferences and if any has an advantage over the others.

I just love the look of Coco, the sound is real good too.b That being said for me make my call bois d' ark. I just love the sound of hedge. For a hunting call it is just the wood I seem to find the most duck in. Coco is a close second.

I have loved certain calls in all three woods though.

Having never used blackwood....I'd say Bois D Ark for volume and cocobolo for more ducky sound

african black wood makes nice calls and look nice to...however you have 2 be careful because african blackwood is one of the few woods that will sink in water because its so dense.

cocobola for me, it's ducky. Though my brother has a custom Ironwood, and it's pretty neat.

yep. overall, high end wood calls are WAY more ducky than acrylic

I love me some African black wood. It makes for a very loud call. I put a finish on mine and it looks as dark and shiny as a maglite.
