Here's the general idea: Two straight cuts, then grafting on new mahogany using original Titebond.

In my mind I had you doing two new (full) wings but your plan preserves more of the original bird. I like that!

Makes sense, and you can keep the cutoffs for possible future use.

Making the male 'V' cut in the wings requires a shaper and custom cutter (neither of which I currently own or need).  I'm looking to complete the work as economically as possible with the tech I have. 

No matter how correct the wing restoration the center section won't be.  Maybe I could see the point of the extra work and expense if it were.  Doing it this way still allows someone else to do a total wing graft, but it won't be me.

I think you plan works just fine.  How are going to make the cuts?  In my mind a simple sled, or jig, for a table saw does the trick.

I'll bandsaw the cuts with a 3TPI blade, then 'joint' using a bottom bearing 1/2" straight router bit against a clamped on straight edge.  Can't use my actual jointer, unfortunately.

I've owned at least six tablesaws, from my current $129 15 amp, 10 inch to a 7hp 16 inch, 10 foot slider with 5 inch scoring blade.  I much prefer the bandsaw and a jointer for instrument work.  I make rough crosscuts using a 7" circular saw or Bosch jigsaw if necessary. I haven't used the table saw in years, it has a 2'x8' piece of plywood clamped to the top of it, it's my main workbench.  Maybe if it wasn't so underpowered.

Good plan. I'd use the cutoffs to plug the P rout.

Any progress here?  I woke up at about 6.00am this morning and it was the first thing I thought about!

No, sorry.  Other work in front of it.
