I love it! That gives me an idea as to what I can do with the ones that I have collected over the years. Thanks for sharing.

looks great.

Looks great! Just curious as to how you prepared the spurs? They all look alike. Thanks.

[hoosierwilk]

Didn't do anything special really. Just skinned them all and let them dry for a couple weeks. Boiled them for about 5 minutes to get any remaining flesh off. Then I polished them with some polishing compound and a dremmel. Not much to it. hw

Man that looks awesome.

Awesome necklace I'll do that if I ever get enough spurs. I'm looking for an unusual way to do the fans I have 4, something different than just hanging them individually.

Great job. i have made one but it is rough and rustic compared to that one. It is beautiful.

Boy am I jealous! I just hope that I'll be able to make me one someday. It's been on my mind for a while now, just don't have enough spurs. I've only killed 2 gobblers, and one didn't even have spurs even though he was about 22 lbs. and had a 9 inch beard as thick and wide as a paint brush! I collect indian arrowheads and will hopefully get to make me a spur necklace with an arrowhead hanging on it someday. Nice Job!!!:cool:

Looks awesome! Does anyone know if you could use the spurs off of a leg that has already dried out that i killed in '05. I just cut off part of the leg with the feet still on.

[snareman]

Nice work. Thanks for the picture.

[hoosierwilk]

Gobblegetter, alot of the spurs I used were on dried legs that I had from a few seasons ago. I just went ahead and cut on either side of the spur and skinned them out and they were fine. hw

[dorris]

mine were already dried to thats why they look light . if the black cap pops off of your spur just super glue it back on . sometimes when they get dried out the black part pops off while your cutting them .
