A friend told me about some company that could bronze coat the legs. Just wanted to see if anyone has heard of this or maybe get some other ideas to check out that you guys have done!
I have seen the bronze coated lower legs and spurs but I don't remember where.
A guy in nashville can get them done. They look really good. He can also get the skull dipped if your into that. Get in touch with this guy and he can hook you up www.duxrus.com

Duxrus that is bad to the bone right there. Love the turkey head.

I was trying to find something for the turkey hunter who has everything...ALMOST. You can only save so many fans and mounted birds on the wall so I thought this would be a cool option. Every turkey hunter who has seen them in person has plans of a pair for their shelf down the road. I had the standing set done for my dad from a bird with 1.5" hooks he shot last year. Pictures don't do them justice........now if I can just shoot some spurs worth bronzing.
Very cool looking. If you do not mind me asking, what does it run to have them coated?
If you don't want to anwser that on the forum, I understand. Nice work!
Joe, that turkey skull that you use in your call pics would look cool like that.
Never messed with the turkey's skull before, but that makes me want to flesh one out. :you_rock:
Man them are bad to the bone, I am diffently getting something bronzed in the future, that skull is just to cool....
that is awesome looking!!!

Thats exactly what I was thinking.

That is cool
When you first talked about it, I was, like, how stupid is that!! Then I saw the pictures and whoa!! that is stinkin' awesome. This is way too good... :you_rock:
Them bad boys are the shnitzel fo sho. :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright: They would look cool as bookends for turkey hunting books.
Definitely will look into a skull and legs done, if I get some good hooks?
I was also wondering what a whole skeleton of a bird erected together like dinosuars would look like? Would be a little work, but thinking it would look awesome? Then when he's all done mount his beard on him? :lol:
:you_rock: Those are sweet!
Whats something like that cost ? Pretty Frickin Awesome !!!! :drool:
My guy does an industrial spray instead of the "dip" and runs around 50.00 a pair plus a little shipping. The legs have to be injected with a 2 part solution to keep them permanently "plump" and positioned to dry before they can be sprayed . I do the posing and drying here and then ship out the legs in large batches to be done to cut costs.
Man, those are very cool :you_rock: I really like the skull. If I don't bang one up to bad I may consider fleshing one out!

That is nice, I might have to think about that.
The cost is not too much.
Another company is Montana Skull Works. Here is the link: http://www.montanaskullworks.com/turkeys.html

They are 90.00 a pair and if you look at the pic's along with reading the field care (they can dry out before you ship to them)....looks like they don't inject them to give a natural "plumpness" of the toes. Theirs look skinny to me and I am not a fan of the big glob on the tops....my .02
The heads look cool but for 170.00 they loose their coolness....haha
Wow never seen this before. Way too cool.
Add me to the "That's Awesome" camp!!!!
That is real cool. Be nice to do just a spur them take it to a jeweler.make it into something u can wear. I guess those 3/4 blunt spurs I've been getting won't work. Going to have to bang a limb hanger this year.
