Crafting a Custom Yard Art Turkey

Image
Custom Orders Are Welcome Contact Me   I recently had the pleasure of creating a custom yard art turkey for a special order. The process was both challenging and rewarding, and I wanted to share some insights about how it all came together. The buyer provided a paper pattern that needed to be scanned using a large-format scanner. One of her main requests was to ensure that the pattern remained undamaged during the scanning process, which added an extra layer of care to the task. Thankfully, there’s a FedEx Store nearby that offers a self-service scanner. While it isn’t the cheapest option, the quality of the scans is excellent, which made it worth the investment. I always scan my own paper patterns, however, my scanner was much to small for this job. Once I had the scanned pattern ready to go, I transitioned to crafting the actual turkey. I chose to work with 1x12 yellow pine for its durability. Using my Excalibur EX-21 scroll saw, I shaped the turkey with precision. While a bandsa...

I usually don't make this many in a batch, but the wood I am using to make these usually yields poorly. I expect to have up to 50% of the birds wind up as designer kindling due to defects that I can't detect until the turkey is cut. Much to my surprise, this time, every one of them made it to the final cut. Initially, the turkeys were a custom order used for kids to make Thanksgiving decor for their parents. I make the birds from construction grade 1x wood. After I cut them, I sand the parts smoothly and soften all the edges while checking for defects at each step. The turkeys are ready to paint or use as-is for rusti...
