Spur question

Need a little help from you all. My son wants me to make a Turkey spur necklace for him. My question is how do I get the spur off and cleaned for something like that

Thats a good question. I can't answer that one.

I cut them off the leg with by pass pruners............. push the marrow out of the legs, pull the tendons out too.... then use a knife to scrape the skin off the legs also.

after all that get some Borax (laudry soap) and stick the spurs into a bowl of Borax, it helps cure the spurs so no rotting smell.

not sure if thats the way anyone else did it, but it worked for me

Hey Dave,

Lowes, Home Depot........ your you can use a saw as well

Thanks Marky Mark!

The way Mark described it is how I've always have done it. I usually leave it covered in borax for a week. Make sure you get plenty of borax into the bone where the marrow came out.

Make sure when you cut them of you leave yourself enough room on both sides.
