I would like to mount a pair of pheasant wings for an art project but I don't know where to begin. I plan to mount only the wings. How should I do it and how can I deal with any problems regarding rot etc.?

Greg you need to skin your wings to the tip, remove all meat. apply borax liberaly(I hate that word, liberal) and rap the wing bones with cotton after applying a wire and glue the skin done!
Happy Regards,

I would like to mount all the different varities of waterfowl that I shoot but when it comes to the wings how do you skin them out. It's easy to turn the skin but how do you turn the wings since the feathers are so much bigger or is there another way. I do have formaldehyde(that may be mis-spelled)should I use that and if so what's the best way i.e. (ducks and geese).
