Make your own custom turkey slate friction call from our complete ready-to-assemble kit! Our turkey box call kit has been so popular our customers have asked us to also provide a friction call in a kit form as well.
The unfinished bowl comes in cherry or walnut. You have the option of a round bevel or a round bevel with a crown edge 3-3/8 x 3/4” bowl pot. The octagon design is unlike the common round disc shape used in most friction-call bases. Sorry, the cherry kit is out of stock. Walnut is still in stock.
Description / Turkey Slate Friction Call Kit
The outside of the bowl uses a compounded bevel towards the backside of the call for an easier grip. Many like the combination of the beveled sides making this design one of our most popular calls, because it is just so easy to balance and grasp in the hand, even with gloves.
Make the selection at the top of the page using the drop-down boxes.
This slate call kit also features a 3" inner glass plate to help soften and muffle sharp unnatural chalkboard squealing from the slate. Very few friction calls use actual inserts inside the call. The slate surface measures 3-1/2”.
When completed your call will be the highest-quality slate call on the market.
The kit includes a plastic syringe to run a fine bead of clear silicone sealer to hold the glass in place and then around the slate seat. The recommended sealer is the "GOOP" brand, clear adhesive (not included in the kit). The only difficult task in assembling this call is to just apply enough adhesive on the edge so that it does not ooze out the side and onto the striker surface. Therefore, we have included a syringe.
The slate will be dry-fitted to protect it in shipping. Sometimes it will be tight and may need additional sanding before final glue in. If the slate does not easily fall out use a small dowel rod to easily push while rotating through the holes on the backside to remove it without breaking.
The wood bowl will need a light fine sanding before the finish, you can engrave, wood burn, or complete your own personalization. You can also select our engraving option to have a name or initials added to the top or select logo engraving to make these projects for youth groups, schools, or other classes. Like the FFA classes have done with our box call kits or use your logo to make your own turkey calls.
Simply, finish the wood, assemble the insert, and slate top, let the sealer dry overnight, tune the call surface with the included sanding pad and you are ready to talk turkey.
