Thank you, I hope you get many turkeys!

Hacksaw is all that is needed.

Freeze them, then hack saw or coping saw...

Reciprocal saw makes quick work of it.

I use a hacksaw to cut, 40% volume peroxide and whitening then I shape the bone after. I also have a method to polishing spurs.

I use the clear nail polish on my beaks for skulls, I do wear my "Spur Chain" at some banquets, seminars and events I do. The nail polish seems to "wear" down on these. I'm sure for a set on display they would keep the shine.

I use a hacksaw. Works fine for me.

Sent from deep in the woods where the critters roam.

Hacksaw with a vise

Do not use loppers!  My buddy gave me a set if spurs to clean up for him and he broke one half of the bone off using loppers. Terrible idea!

Hacksaw IN the vise. I clamp the frame of the hacksaw with it blade side up in a vise. Then I hold either side of the leg and draw it towards me on the blade to slowly cut the spur section loose. Takes a couple minutes with controlled even pulls. This way you don't risk the bone breaking.

Hacksaw leaving 1/16 on each side of the spur. A sharp blade to cut the scale off. Boiled spur side up with the bone in the water for 5 min. Knock out marrow, scrape excess meat off then soak in peroxide just the bone, again spur side up for a few hours. Thread on rawhide in descending size.
