How do you treat the spurs to get that look. I've got about 10 sets in the freezer. I would like to do something like that.

nothing really, I just trim them up with my knife an coat in borax to dry, then scrub off with a wire brush and a little sandpaper to smooth them out. No bleaching or finishing, just bare bone.

Ok, thanks. I will try it with some of my 1" sets first. I will save my daggers until I get comfortable with the process.

probably won't need much practice at all, in fact my first set of spurs came out better than these. Just trim all the skin and flesh off the bone with a sharp knife and be careful not to nick the spurs. Cut the spurs off with a hack saw of course before skinning and trimming. Just cut through the leg on either side of each spur.
