Well with the weather here in WI just downright freezing cold what you going to do. Spent the day in the shop working on some displays. Have a couple of beard displays, a full fan/wing/beard/spurs/euro going out and did up some spur chains.
So family had some old barn board from the farm to use for this one!
and then these HOOKS, always such a difference once I have them cut, cleaned and polished.

Nice work! Same here. Got fan drying and just finished cleaning these. 2 more in freezer to do before spring!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190202/0be71530f4365ac4e1d1fd8dc19e630e.jpg)

Do you always pull your spurs caps? Do they lose color variation?

Here's one of my chains!
Keeping natural color is a big thing for me, seen a guy who used to paint his black...

Yeah, most of the time I do. And they do lose some color but I kind of like it. I prefer the cleaner looker. Heard some folks lightly paint inside cap, but never tried it. These ones are about the lightest ones that Ive done. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190202/3a1f2a6eba2f4a4e9327bdb8363d354e.jpg)

Those are sharp looking!
This guys looked awful and every spur was just "black" and then he covered outer cap with clear nail polish. I did my first 2 ever sets of spurs this way... don't like the way they look but was new to doing this and this is what he was teaching a "newbie" at the time.

Thanks. Yeah I saw some pictures of painted ones like that. Looked horrible lol. I just clean em, peroxide to whiten, and leave natural. Need you to school me on doing wings?, I havent tackled those yet. Done capes, but never messed with wings. I really like your wings with tail fan.

Nice work.
Now get on some real estate sites and find you a place to live where a human can go outside in February! :whip2:

No problem, can't say anyone taught me this but had been trial and error till I got them right. Did a lot of this learning on my own and started up my own "Displays" after getting a lot of requests from others do theirs.
I'll send you a PM

When you were at -40 we were at -60 wind chill. Colder then Antarctica they said. I just snuggled up to the fire reading one of Tom Kelly's books.
Nice spur work MK M GOBL and Gobspur. How many sets of Spurs would I need for a chain M GOBL.

Hey Harty,
I do them at any stage, for me a "full" one is 10 sets, just the way I do then. On some of my displays they only have a single set from that bird.
Or these are some options (First 3 are my personal displays)

If you wipe them with linseed oil, it will restore the original colors and variations and shine. Even works if you get peroxide on them.
