What Size Coping Saw?

Just wondering what size Coping Saw I should be using to finish off my wingbone call? I will be buying the 40v Peroxid, some form of epoxy (Could use some advise here as well, would like something that drys white) and a Coping Saw when I get paid again. Any advise on sandpaper to use on it to smooth out the epoxy after drying? Would E6000 or Titebond 1413 III glue work for threading if I choose to go that way? Any particular thread I should use? I am thinking of having it painted by the way so I am not sure I am going to want threading. I have to head to bed but will reply when I get back home tomorrow afternoon. Thank you in advance for any help given.

I made a couple wingbone calls a few years back. I used a fine coping saw with fine teeth that I had in the basement. I'm sure that you could find an epoxy that will dry white. If I remember right I just used some 220 grit sandpaper but the call is easy to make. You just need to go slow and be patient. Not sure how fancy you want to make your call but brightening it up with colored thread is not difficult. It's a fun project that you can do in an afternoon.

Below is a link to a young guy making a call. He shows the fundamentals but is rushing some because he is on video. As I stated you will do better going slow. He also has some calling sequences at the end to the video that should give you a leg up on calling if you don't know the basics. I found the calls very easy to use.

That is about the size of the one I used. However, were I to make another I would use a saw with a little bit more back bone. Some thing between a hack saw and a coping saw. Don't mean to confuse but a coping saw can twist.

It's been several years since I have made one and none of mine was fancy but I think the last few i made I used a band saw with a fine blade and clear epoxy.
