Title: Turkey Spur Display
Post by: GSLAM95 on March 02, 2012, 01:59:21 PM
After cleaning up my spurs I would always throw them in a drawer until I thought I would come up with some way of displaying them.  Well this week has been that time to get something done with them.  I cut 6' lengths of Suede lace, threaded some wooden beads on in-between each spur and I am using them for window trim. ;D
I had some with the skin & scales still on so I stripped that after letting them soak in hot water with Dawn soap for a couple of days, I wire wheeled the bone with my die grinder and painted them with a hammer tone copper paint, buffed the spur and added boiled linseed oil to the spur itself like I do all of them after normal cleaning.  I only did one strand of 50 like that and left the other strands natural.

The lighting in the man cave is bad but here is the general idea..

I have been going with my Uncle in MO since the late 70's, killed my first here in IL back when they opened season in 81.  The longest spur is off an Ocellated and comes in at 1-15/16".  The longest spur from an Eastern on their is 1-3/4".
