Wingbone call

[Steve-In]

I asked for advice earlier on making a wingbone call.  Below are pictures of 2 views of the results.  I have the opposite pieces to be assembled after I learn more about these calls.  Thanks to all for the help.  Steve

That is a nice job on the wingbone call. Would you share with those of us who don't know, how you make one? I'd like to try my hand at it if I get lucky during the fall turkey season.

We had a pretty long thread on how to make 'em a month or two ago:

Lots of info out there on the rest of the internet as well.

I think a lot has to do with the handling of the bones.  I think you can over cook the bones.  When I cleaned my bird I took the wings and legs and very slow boiled them until the meat fell off.  I took the meat and fixed it with noodles.  I sawed the ends of the bones and continued to boil them in fresh water with soap added.  I cooled each bone under tap water and scraped until all meat, tendon etc was gone.  I drained and dried them and started to remove the insides.  I used a cordless drill and twist drills.  I also used rat tail files and needle files.  Bore brushes work reallywell to.
