Looks good to me. Not sure about what to tell you on sealing it. As for beard and spur display, outdoor life magazine had a good idea on that in their "how to" issue earlier in the year. Cut the section of leg that has the spurs (about half inch or so on each side or whatever length you like). Drill the center out (I let some ants remove the marrow for me though) and run a leather lanyard through it. Wrap the end of the beard in thread (some type of shiny craft thread is what they used) and then use a clear epoxy on it. Can't recall how they attached it to the lanyard but it looked real neat. I'm going to do that with mine this year as soon as I figure out how to clean a fan sufficiently. Seems my previous attempts haven't gone so well yet. Always mess it up somehow.
