I'm taking on the task of making wingbone yelpers for myself and my 9 yr old son. I'm to the stage where the bones are soaking in peroxide and should be able to assemble soon. I have a few questions and would appreciate any feedback.
#1. I've read where I should wrap with color treated thread aka rod building thread. I don't have any but I do have some BCY Polygrip bowstring serving. Would this work and not fade?
#2. What should I use to seal/coat the thread with when I'm done wrapping?
Again, thanks for any input.
I would think the polygrip would work just fine
Thanks, gonna give it a shot.
Well, thanks to chbarnha's reply and the ONE member (you know who you are..lol) who pm'ed me with advice, along with Youtube videos from Catman and Mossy Oak (Ernie Calandrelli), I was able to build a few wingbone calls. My 9 yr old son is the proud owner of #1 in honor of killing his 1st gobbler this year and I'm keeping #2 for myself. The bones came from my limit bird (2 yr old with 3 beards) this year here in MS. Just wanted to say thanks to those who didn't mind sharing their knowledge. I really enjoyed making them!

Thank you sir!
Well done. I am in the process of putting together my first couple of wing bone calls. That bowstring serving sure did come out nicely. Believe I am going to bribe the guys at the local tackle shop and see if I cant get use of their rodwrapping equipment and expertise when it comes to finishing the joints on mine.
Looks good, It will be awesome killing a bird with them
