If you turn duck calls, what are some good woods to use for the barrels?

Finished up the Christmas goodies today. I made some lidded bowls and mounted ceramic ducks on the lids. I've had these ducks for years and this year decided to use them. The lids are brass made from some salvaged door kick plates. I used my metal lathe to turn the brass sheet into round discs after roughing them out at the band saw in the metal shop. The lids are roughly 5 1/2". The lathe is a 6" max so rough cut had to be under the 6" limit. I had nine ducks ergo there are nine bowls. Black Walnut and Cherry are the wood species.

I am attempting to make a duck call for the very first time, I have browsed Youtube for the answers I seek but can't really find anything. I need to know how thin i can/need to turn the blank? the instruction basically says nothing more than the length of the blank should be 3 1/2" then turns right around and says 3" Width is supposed to be 1 1/2 then turns right around and says 1" other than that it says NOTHING. On youtube all I get is all I already know which is to drill a 5/8" hole through the blank. There is no metal collar as some have on the insert end or that would at least give me an idea of what it needs I will be using Cocobolo. The kit will be a Arkansas Magnum kit (single reed). Any help at all would be appreciated Charles
