Title: making a wingbone
Post by: Franklin7x57 on May 19, 2023, 07:23:15 PM
I'm going to try making a wing bone call from a gobbler I killed this Spring. I've watched a couple videos, but I have a question. Do you have a length that you're looking for or just cutting for fit? Or should I just send the bones to someone who knows what they are doing?

Nothing wrong with trying it yourself, that's how you learn.
Keep in mind, just as the internals of a trumpet are very important, so are the internals of a wingbone.
You don't have much choice of the ID in a bone, but you can control the length depending that ID. Have fun with it.

Around 7 inches is typical

Does anyone have advice on epoxying feathers to the wingbone?

It's tricky.  I can't say I have figured it out but you need the epoxy they use for fishing rods.  I tried it with a different type and it looks like chit!
