Turkeygirl Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 Just wondering if any of you have plaques you mount your fans/spurs/beards on - if you buy them or make them yourself? I had the privilege on Archery Talk to find a guy who does his own plaque making and he makes probably the most unique turkey plaques I've seen! They are done from pine, cut in the shape of a turkey feather, and the way they are done, the grain of the woodsl ooksl ike banding in the feathers! Well he wanted some shed antlers and I had two from a rattling set I found and I traded them to him for 2 of his plaques. They should be hear tomorrow and I'll post a photo. They are very unique and I'm definitely hoping this year to have a beard and spurs to put on one of them. Anyone else have any unique plaques?

IllinoisHunter Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 Re: Plaques for turkeys I've had the fan, legs and beard in my freezer for about 3 months waiting to get done. Is there a time limit on how long they will stay good in a freezer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dosse Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Re: Plaques for turkeys I have a store bought plaque that has a place to mount the beard and fan that looks pretty good. Still trying to come up with something creative to do with my spurs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Re: Plaques for turkeys There's a fellow down the road a little piece from me who does the neatest plaque I've seen. His name's Dennis Kozora. Heck of a nice guy and an awesome artisan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elkoholic Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Re: Plaques for turkeys Here is a rug/hanging that a local taxidermist makes that I think looks pretty sharp. She tries to match the felt backing to color of the feathers. The only downside is the size as it is over 50 inches wide and 40 inches tall.

drkillemquick Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Re: Plaques for turkeys Very nice displays. Love the rug. I make my own plagues but they are not as fancy as some of these ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dosse Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Re: Plaques for turkeys Elkoholic that rug is very unique, thats a cool idea for a display and as far as i know no one does that around this area. Very cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
