Woodhaven Cherry Classic Slate Friction Turkey Call WH056

Overview

Meet the Woodhaven Cherry Classic Slate Friction Call WH056. Built around a Pennsylvania slate surface and a cherry wood sound chamber, this call blends a crisp rasp with a warm, balanced tone. It’s designed to help you reproduce a range of turkey sounds in varying field conditions, offering a practical balance between attack and realism without relying on certainty about results.

The Cherry Classic emphasizes a natural response that can feel intuitive in the hand, helping you shape cadence and rhythm as you work through a sequence of calls. While tones are never guaranteed to elicit a response, the combination of slate and cherry often yields a clear, audible rasp that can travel across open terrain and a softer, more intimate texture for closer work.

Sound profile and materials

The slate surface is prized for quick response and a clean rasp, while the cherry sound chamber adds natural warmth and projection. The design supports long, high front breaks that cut through ambient sound, followed by smoother transitions to quieter yelps, clucks, and purrs. This blend gives you a versatile tool for both alerting nearby turkeys and inviting a respectful, subtle response at closer quarters.
