Turkey Feet Display Ideas

[GomerPyle]

I have the feet from the jake and gobbler I killed last year (my first 2, and only, birds) that I saved.  I dried them in a standing/walking position.  In my mind, I pictured just standing them on the mantle or my work desk or something, but after drying them I now realize they're not going to just stand up on their own.  They've been laying on a shelf in my closet for a year now because I can't think of a good way to display them.  I'd thought about just getting a piece of wood to use as a base and gluing them to it, but I'd rather now glue them down in case I ever want to display them differently.

Give me some ideas!

I've seen them done like your talking about but they stood up on there own I think they had a taxidermist inject them with embalming fluid and it preserves them.

A cool piece of live edge wood or have a call maker turn 2 pot call blanks so they look like the bottom of finished calls from the top and put spurs on them.  There is a "stick it" stuff that is not permanent but holds stuff well.  Museum us it to stick a vase or something to a display stand.  I am sure you can find it online.

I had a set of feet cleaned by a beetle guy and have them standing on shelf.

Glad you posted this! First time i've saw legs cleaned by beetles. My friend just got some beetles and I planned on taking him a head. Now I can add feet to the list, gotta have a set!

Yeah I needed something unique to display the fact it was a double spur bird but I also wasn't about to taxi a whole a 2yr old turkey.

Note: they will be a pile of tiny bones when the beetles are done and need put back together and positioned with cement glue.
