I started messing around with some wingbones I had saved in the freezer. A little trial and error but I think they turned out better than expected. I plan on bring a few of these to Nashville this year and see if I can do any trading. Already looking forward to collecting more to build for next year.

You just started messing around???? LOL.
Darn fine looking work for just messing around. Can't wait to see what you come up with when you're serious!

Thanks! I made my first few last year, but this year i built a rig to spin the calls and started sealing with epoxy, which as a game changer. Next i want to try and incorporate some feathers into the finish. Any tips or constructive criticism is always welcome.

Those look great! I made my first one's this year. How do you get the smooth glass look to them? All of the materials I used just soaked into my string. They turned out ok but dont have that smooth slick look like that.

Its a 2-part epoxy, like whats used in building fishing rods.
