I am wondering if any stabilized wood is OK for toneboards as far as being stable. Dense woods do produce the best sound.
I have some stabilized elm, beech and hackberry I thought about using. Comments and opinions appreciated.

I frequently use stabilized wood to sleeve Reelfoot inserts. It works as well for me as delrin. I see no reason why it would not work as well on an Arkansas style call.

Reelfoot, the original duck call. What's on your lanyard?

Stabilized burls are the only stabilized product that I would shy away from for toneboards. Straight grained woods that are stabilized are just fine for toneboards.

Thank you guys for the replies. My thoughts were they would be fine but wanted to know from people that make more calls than I do.
I have quite a bit of delrin but never used it in calls.
Thanks again

Give it a try sometime. Derlin is the perfect toneboard sleeving material IMO- great sound, cheap, machines like butter.
