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.

Spring Fever

Those look good. I really like the deer antler.

lasttombstone

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.

lasttombstone

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

lasttombstone

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.

Chris O

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.

lasttombstone

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.

Good looking calls guys. I've not made a wingbone in a long time but, have got the bug lately.
