How Make to Make a Turkey Call (Don't watch if you're squeamish!)

Warning: Major Ick factor for some! From the wing of a turkey to a turkey call, Brian shows you and Max the whole process from skinning out the wing bones to sawing off the knuckles and cleaning out the struts and marrow. Making a turkey call from the actual wing of a turkey is not as hard as you may have thought.

Such amazing work sir.

[@Sheepdog1314]

been making these for many years. I use cooked bones as well. I use pine pitch to connect them. Thank you for showing

[@StockmanOriginal]

Thanks for watching! Definitely there are multiple good ways to connect the bones, pine pitch is a good option.
We have follow up videos in the works to show how to finish the turkey call aesthetically - wrapping the connections in sinew and doing scrimshaw.

Yeah man, that is really cool stuff Brian,
Now I've just got to make myself one of those.
Thanks buddy

[@StockmanOriginal]

Yeah John, that bone scrims really nice.

[@StockmanOriginal]

Thanks Janson, it’s funny how all the pieces seem to fit like that, but they really do. Hey, happy spring to you.😀

[@jsteelsadventureandvariety4545]

Happy spring Brian🙂 still quite snowy here, but melting away bit by bit👍

I've been making wing bone calls on and off for 40+ years started with Thanksgiving Turkey bones Almost always withh 3 bones there have been quite a few birds that wish they had never heard one used Being a Carpenter I've used good wood glue at the joints and different wood stains in a random camouflage pattern On my first try I used Bees wax and heavy waxed thread normally used for hand stitching leather Lanyard on that was a leather thong but now all are Parachute cord. If I broke or lost one of yours I'd cry for a month and bitch about it for the rest of my life
