RE: How to make your own wingbone call

Once done I add a small screw eye which I epoxy in place. I drill the hole so it will fit in and not screw in. I add a dab of epoxy and let it dry before I coat with 2 or 3 coats of lacquer. A piece of leather for a call lanyard and may add some beads and my spurs or even the shotgun shell I used with the beard glued in it!

Spurs I cut off like this. These if I am going to add them to my lanyard I put in a small cup of store bought Borax to help them dry. Let dry in a cup with borax for a few week. Then I clean out the marrow and them back to my buffing wheel and lightly buff – stick on a copper wire and coat with the spray lacquer.
Once dry I run my leather strip through them.
Or I have take a few legs with spurs and have made calls too! But keep your cut longer on the bone. You
can either peel the skin/scale off and whiten in peroxide or leave as is. Just dry in borax for a while.

You will notice some have lacquer some do not. It does make a difference. The bottom long call is made from Canada goose!
