Dana, that's just too cool. ;D Nice blade, too. Do you have to do anything to the leg other than dry it out? I've got a couple in the freezer that I was thinking of making into knife handles like that.

Very Cool knife Dana.  If you pulled that on someone, that would just freak their $%^# out.

  Steve, just put the toes where you want them and hold them in place with rubber bands or twist ties. set it in the sun and let it dry. That's it.

Thanks guys :) I wanted to do the blade in a turkey tail style but the glass had some bubbles in it so I ended up with a dagger.

Eddie a friend gave me a whole turkey he had just shot so I got the wings, tail, feet and best of all the meat ;D He is the local sheriff and just
retired so I brought the knife over to him last night and he was tickled pink with it ;D

Steve like eddie said just position the toes however ya want and let it dry but ya gotta watch out for dogs, cats, birds and fastidious wives :D

What attitude Shannon ??? ::) :P ;) :D

Nice blade Dana.

Steve, you actually should inject it with formaldehyde or something of that nature.  You can dry them, but that doesn't stop the bugs from getting in and eating them. Keeping them inside will decrease the chances of getting bugs, but it is no guarantee.  Justin

Kinda creepy and yet beautiful :-\ . Excellent craftsmanship.  If you still have the head and neck intact, you can try making the sheath out of that.  If you shape a foot like that to your bow limb, would it make a functional stalker quiver?
