What my 2026 spring turkey turned into.....

[schmalts]

This year's gobbler laid there in the rising sun after I shot him in the face.. I admired the greens, coppers, and brown colors that you only see in the sun close up. Then the idea came..... I peeled off the hide, salted it and threw it in a box. A couple month later I figured I had time to mess with it. A hot glue gun, lots of time, many many coats of clear. I call it the STRUTTER

Very cool.

Dang man, that is awesome! Body shape reminds me of a PRS with a Tele head, but made from a fng turkey… Worlds first Strutocaster!

You should find a way to get a picture of that to the Nuge, I could see him playing that on stage.
