Turkey Fan Mount Project
« on: April 26, 2013, 07:11:00 PM »
Well, I finally finished my turkey fan mount. This was my first turkey so I wanted to personalize with the mounting of the fan. I cut two pieces of poplar into half moons and cut a spacer strip to sandwich between them along the bottom. Drilled pilots from back to front and through the spacer. I drew and burned the strutter into the wood and should have done a beter job with the date and #1, but I'm okay with it.

The beard is leather wrapped and attached by a wood screw with a beman classic sleeve.

Thanks guys! I couldn't figure out what to do with the beard forever, not wanting to sow the actual cured skin. Then it hit me- a lot of the commercial mounts incorporate a shotgun shell, so why not a piece of an arrow for mine? I almost drilled out a big hole to put an insert in to screw a broadhead into it, but with kids and the unknowing, better safe than sorry.
