Turkey bits are the only things I have ever refused to frame.
I would have taken the job if the pieces had had benefit of taxidermy - or even been dried out. But since the customer had shot the bird in question only the day before, I had no trouble saying no.
I politely managed to refrain from pointing out that the trophies he was so proud of were oozing gore all over my design counter.
Mike, I think a carving knife and fork would make fine additions to the shadow box design you are planning. And maybe some odor absorbing cedar chips disguised as left-over stuffing.
