The easier way to mount a turky fan is to pluck all the secondary feathers and put them to the side then pluck out the primary feathers 1 by 1 and number them as you go along then cut an arch of plywood and drill a small hole at the top u then lay the primary feathers out in numerical order and glue them down. There will be a small open spot to glue the beard at the bottom center you then use the secoundary fethers from largest to smallest to cover the primarys quills and thats it ur done. I've done both ways and in my oppion this way is much easier but it up to you i was just tring to give u anouther option
