Just to finish this one off, here are pics of the second six from above, finished and ready to send out. You might see a name or two you recognize, or not, but they are all pretty much for good folks, who have done good deeds, IMO:

Also, while I'm at it, I'd like to show y'all this Turkey yelper made of River Cane. Simply by nesting graduated sizes and lengths of Cane together to produce a sound you like, then gluing, decorating as you care to (or not), and perhaps spraying (as in the bone ones) for extra protection. Use it/them the same as the Wing Bone Calls. You can also do this with hollow Carbon Rods (sometimes known as arrows ;) ) in graduated sizes and lengths, or whatever other tube materials your busy little mind can come up with - ;D

Hey ber643, I only have one thing to say: "Buildalong". Actually I think that's like three words stitched together, but "hey". ;D
Super great job. I made one a long time ago when I was a kid. It was from the cooked Thanksgiving day turkey. I was a little soft, but it sort of worked. Never hunted with it though. ::)
Those are really great looking works of art.
Thanks for sharing.

OB, I often use cooked bones (baked/stewed) but I boil them (for bleaching and removing meat/marrow), after the cooking, and they seem to be as hard as the uncooked ones, which I do the same way.
I do have a pictorial Build-a-long, that I've posted on a couple of other forums, that has been very well received. I would be my pleasure to transfer one to here also, if folks would like me to.
