PatB, was nice enough to offer me some of his deer rawhide to back a bow I had a splinter raise on. I wanted to send him something in return to say thank you. Since I don't have much of a stock pile of anything. I offered one of my hand made wing bone turkey calls. Pat said he would love one.
I haven't finished one of these in several years. I checked my box and had 2 assembled so I Done some finish sanding and dyed it the way my grandpa taught me. (that's a secret, lol) I braided some artificial sinew for a neck cord and wrapped the joints with some green serving material. I signed it and sprayed a couple coats of shellac on it.
Hope you like it Pat! I noticed that the writing isn't the greatest but it's not to bad for me. Patrick

Heck yeah I like. Very cool. 8) Thanks Patrick.

I'm glad you like it Pat! I'll put a little rubber band on the tip so it's easier to get a good seal on it. Learning to use it is up to you! I can make them all day but I'm not too good with calling with it. But they are awesome in the hands of someone that knows how to use them. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it. Patrick

Thanks guy's! I haven't made any in years. I made the mistake of telling a bunch of people I worked with that I would make them for 20 bucks each if they would bring me the bones. I made so many that It got to be work and not fun. So I completely quite doing them. But it was nice to do another as a gift. Maybe I will make a few more for Christmas! Patrick

I like turkey feather fletching and I too have friends at work that bring me their wings so I make them a call for providing me the feathers. Here's one I did a few years ago....
-
Very nice Danzn Bar, that's a little fancier than the ones I've made. Good job!
Knoll, you never know what you will do between now and then! >:D Patrick

I got the call yesterday. Patrick did a beautiful job making this wing bone call. Thank so much, Patrick. I don't turkey hunt but I will cherish your handiwork for years. Heck, it might get me in the spring woods after thunder chickens after all.
-
Your welcome Pat! I'm really glad you like it!
Be careful though, turkey hunting is an obsession! You will be doing like I am, trying to make a short bow to shoot seated or out of a blind. Thanks for the rawhide, Patrick
-
Patrick, that's why I don't turkey hunt or knap. I really don't need another obsession! ;)
-
Those are SWEET fellas!! I've been wanting to get my hands on one for a while. Nice work!
