No the feet are not there. I cut the spurrs off and used several sets along with sections of wing bones to make the beard necklace. |

You need to skin the entire bird out, keeping the tail and wings attached. I cut the wings off at the first joint. The hardest part is fleshing the skin and getting the meat off the wing bones and tail section. Then I used Borax as the preservative, making sure to pack it in around the wing bones and tail section and rubbing it into the skin. I put it into the classic shape and tacked it down to a large piece of cardboard for the drying process. Once dried I permantley mounted it on a diamond shaped piece of 3/16" plywood that is large enough to hold everything in place but is hidden by the feathers . Make sure the plywood extends high enough up behind the tail fan to hold that in place and so you can drill a small hole in the plywood for hanging purposes. Also, I put some backing under the body section so it looked a little puffed up in the center, not completely flat. The necklace is just a piece of rawhide with a bunch of spurrs and wing bone sections and beard in the center. Just cut the hollow leg bone top and bottom of the spurr and then you can thread the rawhide through it. Hope that helps you ? |
