Merriam Turkey Rug
« on: August 04, 2009, 08:51:37 PM »
I just finished up this Turkey Rug for a client.  Still have to put the backing on it, but thought I would share it with everyone.  It will be going on a wall just like a bear rug.  Take care and talk with you soon.  John

that is cool stuff right here

Neat idea.  I have lots of bird pelts but never thought of that...

Very cool.  I think you should put a waterproof backer on it and use it for your toilet rug.

Thanks for the compliments guy's.  Charlie, I charge right around $250.00 for a completed rug, depending if I have to repair any major damage etc.  My clients like it because it gives them yet another option when they are considering space and money.

tlbradford, I don't know about the toilet rug bud ;)  Now, maybe on the bathroom wall to drool over while your doing the deed, that's possible.  :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:  Talk with you all soon.  John

Man, that's awesome, I got your number on speed dial now.  I which I have known about this, I have killed six Toms the last four years with my biggest this spring.  I would love to do something like this.  Great Job, I got you number now for when I have my next Tom.

What an awesome idea. Very curious about seeing what this looks like when you are completed.
