I use a good quality wood glue (Elmer’s, Gorilla Glue) to assemble the bones. There will be big gaps in the joints. A drop or two of glue, allow to dry and add another drop until both joints are (must be!) totally sealed! Trim and clean the joints.
I use fine (000) steel wool for a final polish.
To make it work?
Best “instruction” I can give you is “kiss it”! Don’t give up!
Call in and kill a big ol gobblin’, struttin’, drummin’ tom with a call you made is an absolutely awesome adrenaline rush!
Dope users never called in a turkey to bag!!! They’d NEVER go back to dope!!! LOL!!!

I found instructions in a magazine, lost the mag and did it by memory when I finally got wing bones!
Start by boning out the three largest wingbones. The humerous, ulna and radius. Remove as much flesh as can be easily removed. I leave the bones attached so the bones won’t get mixed up. Place the bones in a sauce pan half filled with water, add two or three “drops” of dish washing liquid soap. I prefer Ivory, but any will work. (scented soaps leave a taste! Yuck! )
Bring to a boil and boil for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove, cool and separate bones, keeping left/right seperate. At this point, I wrap and freeze one set of bones and work with the other set.
Begin by scraping all three bones clean (except for the ends, you’ll be cutting them off) as possible
The large bone has a web of bone I remove with a 1/4″ wood chisel.
I use copper wire to remove the marrow from the other bones.
I can’t give you any “exact” measurements, but the big end of the large bone is kinda “trumpet” shaped. You can google “wingbone yelper” to get an idea of how it’s supposed to look.
The “smallest” bone has a “flatish” end. Trim very carefully! It’s the “mouthpiece”!
Trim, carve, sand until all three bones fit together. STOP!
Lay those bones up and allow them to dry thoroughly, about a week.or
