Brig Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Bet you could use the bird feet to scare the hell out of kids. You could also use them for back scratchers...hair combs...eating utensils... Right, I have absolutely nothing helpful to contribute. Great collection, though!

Brig Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I think any and all of it would be wrong...why else would I suggest it? I be teasing though, of course. The jawbones did make me think...me sister, Mae, once bleached some deer bones and used them to decorate a belt. Looks wicked, with the added bonus of the rattling sound when ye sway down the street.

Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 You could portray a voo-doo priest I guess, or trade it all off to some mountainy-man type still stuck in the 1970-80 time frame? Not much to do that has anything to do with pyracy there really. Sorry mate. Bo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brig Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) If you're really going to be no help... could you at least be good to look at for me? Put some of them fox tails on 'em...who knows what a difference it might make?

William Brand Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 The Golden Age of Pyracy is a bit early to portray a naturalist, but you still could explain away a few of the items as just oddities collected by a curious sailor. They could also be reminders af a sailor's earlier times in the colonies among native nations. Apart from that, you might just trade most of them away for things more suitable to the hobby. I would trade draughts of the Watch Dog for a turtle skull. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumba Rue Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Thank you for the pictures! I have a small jawbone like your coyote ones that I found at Canyon De Chelly in Arizona last year, I think it's from a baby coyote as it's pretty small and teeth still intact and there's even a bit of fur on it. Your picture of the jaw bones pretty much told me what I already suspected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn Bob Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Oh, I don't know about that...Golden Age isn't that far off from when Mark Catesby (a noted early naturalist) was active in the Southern colonies...and of course, ol' Billy Dampier was something of a naturalist himself.

Our Captain, Young Colleen McBust, now she was best of all She has two certain features just as large as cannonballs Like two moons they’re big and round and alabaster white And like all heavenly bodies, they’re sure to come out tonight!

Capt Thighbiter Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 If the turtle heads fit over the butt of a dog lock or other small arm, that would be pretty cool! all shelaced and weathered. Turkey feet - give them a couple coats of poly urethane ( to keep the stink down) and drill a hole thru the end and wear 'em as luck charms.

Looks wicked, with the added bonus of the rattling sound when ye sway down the street. I am finding Mae has all sorts of hidden depths to her character that I would never suspect. And (as Brig suggested) the turkey feet would make awesome forks if they could be flattened out and treated with something or another that made them safe to stick in your mouth.

Mission Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I have to say that I will never stick a turkey foot in my mouth. Not even if there was a little meat still left on 'em. haha Such things only bother you the first time you do them. After that, the fun begins.

Not even if there was a little meat still left on 'em. haha Such things only bother you the first time you do them. After that, the fun begins. Speaking of meat left on 'em.... I work at a wildlife center, and people bring in all kinds of carcasses. Not really sure what they think we want with them, but it worked in my favor when my dance troupe was performing at a Pirates of the Caribbean - themed fundraiser. I needed something slightly voodoo-ish for dancing in Tia Dalma's swamp, and that very week our secretary brought in the fresh skeleton of a deer that had died on her property. Then began the fun task of pulling the skeleton apart, deciding which bones to use, and getting them cleaned up. Four days and 6 gallons of bleach later...a new belt was born. I don't think my hands will ever smell the same. Kinda hard to see in the pic, but I ended up using some vertebrae, a jawbone, a couple of ribs, and a scapula. It may not smell pretty...but like Brig said, the noise is great! Edited February 11, 2009 by Mae The world stands out on either side No wider than the heart is wide. ~E.
