Title: A few wingbone turkey calls
Post by: madcrow on February 24, 2013, 01:43:42 am: Here are a few I made recently. The short calls are chicken bones, but they work really good. I still need to do some decorating and maybe a little scrimshaw on a few of them.

I watched a trumpet/coronet player almost kill himself trying to "play" one of these. I finally took pity and showed him how they worked. Hehehe, and I thought his face was red BEFORE I told him!

Nice calls with some nice decoration on them.

Post by: madcrow on February 26, 2013, 11:08:08 am: THanks. I remove it. I tried one with it and it muffled the sound.

They are always better when the bones come from a turkey you got for yourself in fair chase.
