Turkey fan plaques

I need recommendations. I have 4-5 turkey fans that need to be displayed but haven’t gotten around to it…

They are simple to make if you have some basic tools and woodworking know-how. I made these last year out of some reasonable curly maple that I had lying around. I just looked online for ideas and kind of came up with my own design.

The smaller of the two “arched pieces” stands 3/4 of an inch off of the rear piece using a standoff piece. The tail is sandwiched between and this hides the cured ends of the fan.

It took me a couple of nights in the shot to knock these out including routed edge and stain/poly. A nice, enjoyable project and cheaper than paying $50+ each for them.

I attached the shotgun shell and the beard to the bottom of each plaque. I’ll have to shoot a picture of that tonight.

If you want to buy them, I found lots of examples on eBay for reasonable prices.

Those look awesome! I wish I had the tools to do something like that…

Finished version with shell and beard.

I use these guys for all my euro plaques, fast shipping and great customer service, also when you order, once you receive your package on the invoice they have a code on there for 10% or more off your next order.

Here is another company that offers a few different styles.
