Title: Not a trumpet, but...
Post by: 870BkWht on February 08, 2013, 09:57:30 AM
Still fits in around here right?  I glued these bones up last summer from a jake I killed in April 2012.  Ive glued lots of wingbone calls together before, but this is the first one Ive ever tried to wrap with thread and give it a personal touch.  I dont do this for money, just for personal use and for something to do when its snowing outside.  Made a lipstop from deer horn.  Coated the thread with 2 part epoxy. Used a woodburner for the tracks and the date of kill, then coated the whole thing in a krylon clear spray finish.

I hope to do just that Del.  It will be in the vest along with the mero and buice.  I have too many calls, and sometimes I just have to make substitutions like a coach for a football team.  Kinda like to make sure they all get a little field time.

Nice work. I have a pile put back but can't seem to find the time to attempt to make a yelper from them.
