Supplies:
(4) 3.5"x6' Cedar fence slats (cut in half = 36")
(1) 5.5"x6' Cedar fence slat
(1) 2"x2"x8' board
paint- orange, red, and white
paintbrushes
Dark Walnut Stain
Special Walnut Stain
nail gun + nails
drill + screws
(2) buttons



We also did this to the back of the head/front. Not only did this add support to the turkey, but it also gave it a 3-D effect.
Before we glued/nailed the two parts together, we stained the back piece dark walnut and front special walnut. We also added a whitewash layer to the front/head piece. Then we painted the beak orange and the snood red, then glued/nailed it to the head. I thought my turkey needed eyes, so I glued on two different sized buttons.
Then we screwed three screws into the back of the turkey to connect the front body/head with the back body.

I went into this project feeling hesitant, and came came out overjoyed with the final product. I love it when projects turn out better than you thought they were going to!
