10 year old bones

[FinBonZ]

In early March my daughter celebrated her 14th Bday.  10 years earlier, we had went on our first turkey hunt together.  After sitting about 15 minutes a gobbler and hen came in and I was able to harvest it.  At the time, the wing bones had been saved and quickly put together into two calls.  Recently, I stripped the calls down and rebuilt them as a surprise present for her.  I chose purple and pink wrapping b/c she was wearing bright pink boots on and was drinking a small grape drink on the hunt.  I also enlarged the 10 year old harvest photo to go along with the calls.  Where has the time gone?!  Thanks for looking!

Steve, Great story and its awesome you re-did those bones and selected the colors for the wrapping.  I hope she uses it on a future hunt.

those look awsome,what do people use to wrap the joints with? i have made some wingbones and would like to wrap them similiar to these but dont know what kind of material to use,you really made a great looking set there.

That is absolutely awesome! What a great treasure! I wish I thought of that with my boys first. Great job Dad. WTG!

Greentag,  I think most use a two part epoxy to build the joints up and then wrap them with some sort of thread.   Usually thread that is similar to what custom rod builders wrap with.
