You could tape the spurs and paint the bone a different color white, getting the rough edges smooth, and call it done.
the paint I used is like an off-white/ivory color closest to the bone color that I could find without truly going on a perfect paint search.. it's nowhere near as white and shiny as what he originally used on the bone

I cut my spurs off with a hacksaw, peel the skin and as much tissue off as I can with a knife, then polish and sand them with a dremel tool. 

I think you could shape them with a dremel even with the jb weld and it might not be noticeable at all.  I use kilz II primer on European mounts.  That might look better than ivory paint.

This is about a sorry a job that I've ever seen!! Irriguardless  if he had two broke arms!!! Spurs like those are hard to come by!! This is what I do with mine. A little effort goes a long way! Peroxide the bone and after they dry, sand them down and then clear coat!!

Yea, I couldn't believe it., he normally does a great job.. and he has helped me to gt them back to where they need to be... of course the bone is painted but I'm not as worried about the bone as I am the spur itself... I'm happy that we could gt the paint off of the spur.. they're a very special pair all the way around ...

Definitely better.  A dremel tool with a small wire brush can help you get the remaining paint off the bone, and the sanding tool on one could help you smooth off those end cuts.
