My buddy and I were asked by a local taxidermist to make him a custom display case for a turkey fan. This is what we came up with. After making it, and friends and other people seeing them, we have decided to make and sell them. The shadow box measures aprox 36" tall by 32" wide with a 3.5" shelf on the bottom. The fan holder is made to make the tail fan interchangeable with a different fan ( if desired). The beard holders are made to fit 12 ga. brass with the beards hot glued into them. The shelf can hold pictures, box calls, shells, etc. for decoration. The wall mount on the back is a "noose" bracket used for taxidermy mounts. This one is made from cedar and treated with chemicals to give it the "old barn board" look. Each shadow box is unique to itself based on the wood we use. If anyone would prefer a more natural look, we also offer "untreated cedar" and pine displays that are lightly stained. We are working on a metal design for the fan cover, which we can patina or possibly powder coat. These are for sale for $125.00 ( for the treated cedar and stained pine without metal work) each plus shipping and $100.00 each plus shipping for the natural cedar ( without metal work), or if you're in the Des Moines area we can arrange to deliver in person. You can pm me if you're interested or e-mail us at woodsportin@gmail.com . Let me know what you all think.
