What can I do with turtle shells?

[peytonbowling]

Over the past few years while deer/turkey hunting, I've collected about 20-30 turtle shells. I really don't know why I've kept them and I've wanted to do something creative with them, but I just can't think of anything. Anyone have ANY ideas?

You can make helments out of them....keeps the brain waves contained so the government can't read them!! Trust me it works....oh #&$^....I don't have it on...gotta go before they know....

How bout selling them as matching soup bowls?

I think I saw one time where a guy painted pictures on the shells. But, that would require the ability to paint.

If these are box turtle shells, you can make some cool looking and good sounding turkey calls out of them with a piece of stalte.

Now that my friend, might be something I'm interested in. Do you know where I can find a pic of one? Have you made one?

You can take up chain smoking. You would have plenty of ashtrays. :D

Run a web search for the turkey calls. I've seen several how-to articles on them.

You could make a drum set out of them! Great for young ones to drive you nuts with!

Cut a piece of slate to fit the bottom of the shell. This leave the front open. Glue into place, use a stiker and you have a great call.
