Straitening a Beard..., any tips?

[dc240nt]

I have a nice Turkey beard that I'll soon be mounting with a fan and I'd like it to hang strait. Problem is the thing has a terrible bend in it. Any thing I can do to get it to lay strait?

Put it between some heavy books for a few days or maybe a semi hot iron? I think if I were to use an iron I'd put a cloth between the beard and iron. Good luck

Steam it over a pan of boiling water, then place a heavy book on it.

if that is how it hung on the bird, id leave it if it were me....

if not, these other methods oughta work!

Yea, its a natural bend, or kink is more like it, just as it was on the bird. Problem is the bend causes it to lay crooked on the panel. Makes the mount look funny and un-centered.

I would leave it as it hung on the bird. Just my $.02
