I just take the brass from the shotgun shell, punch out the primer hot glue in a tea cup hook and hot glue the beard in and hang them on a horseshoe nail....

Some nice looking displays fellas
nice
The first two pictures are from a beard board my Mom made for me. It holds four or five deep and roughly 25 across, you can make them what ever size you desire though.

This beard board(at the top of the picture)I made out of an old piece of wood from a barn. It's a bit different, I drilled holes through the board the size of a 12 gauge shell. I stuck the shell's through the holes then inserted the beards in to the shell, that way they stick out from the wall instead of hang straight down.

I bought this beard holder at the NWTF National Convention and really like it. It is made to where the beards fit right in, but I like keeping my spurs with my beards.

Going to buy a few more and do all my beards/spurs like that.
You can buy these plaques at www.turkeyfanman.com
Wow! Some of you guys have some beards!
I am experimenting with my beard board but it is basically a stain grade 2x2. It is attached to a 1x. I drilled the 2x out with a 3/4" bit which seems to fit 12 guage brass perfectly. I then use sealant and glue the beard in the hull and then into the board.
A buddy made me this barn board fan display that has hooks for beards and shelves for a few calls.

Some real nice displays. A lot of my beards started falling apart after years. The ones glued in shotgun shells kept the best. However, I got tired of keeping everything and it taking up space so I up and threw all of them in the garbage one day. I don't keep anything but the meat anymore. I just like hunting the critters and I could never work out the seasoning and cooking to make the beards and spurs tender and tasty. I did see a guy who had skinned the spur section to bone and polished the spurs and leg piece an made a necklace and it was very nice.

I like the fan, spurs and beard all together
I stuff beer mugs until full then I start a new mugs. Usually holds 10-15
I've got mine just lying on a shelf, but need to hang them someday myself. Maybe this summer...

Just curious, is that a wall of birds killed in varying states? Or do you just tail fan mount a lot of birds?
Either way that's pretty cool, and quite the wall of tails.
I have a few I do and Spur Chains (I have DIY Displays too) Plus a Euro!

This is how I'm starting to do mine. I got as much barnwood as I need for about 10 of these displays. The next one I do will have More beards on it.
I used to keep my beards in an old coffee can I got from my grandads smokehouse, no telling how many beards were in it but my girls kittens turned them into dust one day. Since then I just add them to my little turkey shrine.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190102/1a99cb4e65c1dcc28dbda190b456808c.jpg)

Took an old cedar fence post from a piece of property I use to hunt and came up with this.
