Since I am still new here and was asked to post a picture of wingbone calls I had made, I'm going to try and see how it works.
Those look good. I really like the deer antler.
That seemed to work but not like everyone else's but I'll go with it for right now. The first picture is just some calls I have made within the last year. I'll try to add a couple more here from last year and the last picture is 3 calls I started recently.
Thanks Spring Fever. Seems I don't have the picture posting down quite yet. Here is the picture that was left out. I have just been doing this for grins and giggles but would appreciate any critiques anyone can offer.
I personally like your traditional 3 pc wingbones with the white bone. Wrap those joints with something and that would make them pop Nice work and thanks for sharing your calls
Thanks Chris. That is what I was looking at for the 3 in process but I have never tried molding/blending the joints and have no experience nor equipment for wrapping. I'll see how it goes. Those 3 calls were the first one's I have ever tried to polish so that is a step. The darker one is my first attempt at staining with coffee and I kinda like it as well.
I like the stained as well. I am not very artistic at all , but a basic solid color wrap would help the looks. I don't know if you could sand the joints some so they would be smaller might make it easier to wrap. I have never built a call so I have no idea , I am just giving you my thoughts. I look forward to more pictures from you.
Very nice! You do a very neat job. Well done.
Thank you EZ. I am beginning to think that, with as few calls as I do, and since it is more for fun that monetary, I will just leave things at the point they are and forego the wrapping. As an accomplished call maker, what do you use to join bones together? I sometimes have trouble finding something that dries clear.

I'm by far no expert but I wrapped this one by hand. I beveled the edge of the bone with sandpaper and tapered the rest of the joint with epoxy. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190403/7163b446689e9b7f9976ab6304ba4723.jpg)

Good looking calls guys. I've not made a wingbone in a long time but, have got the bug lately.
I've got 8 I'm working on right now. After consideration,I think I'll just be lazy and stick with the plane style I'm accustomed to and forego the wrapping. I finally timed myself and found it takes me a little over an hour just to sand and polish the bones. As EZ suggested, I think I'll try to mix some white paint with my epoxy and see how that looks when the bones are joined. If it turns out OK I'll post a picture. May be a while cause I only get to town about every other week or so.
