Preserving Goose Wings

Help!

I'm totally new to this and I need someone to walk me through preserving a beautiful pair of Canadian Goose wings which I took off a dead bird today.

From reading other posts, I know I'm supposed to cut into the bone, strip off the meat and flesh, borax it, and extend a wire to stretch out the wing span. But I'm not sure where to cut, and I feel nervous about ruining such a beautiful gift. Is there someone who'd be willing to talk or email me through it? I could call them tomorrow (my bill of course!) I don't know how long I have before the wings "freeze" in place. Thanks for your help! If you are willing, please email me at sweigh@hotmail.com.

Thanks!
