I have uaed both salt and borax to dry them and found both worked well for me. I have been making small dream catchers with the turkey spurs with the skin on for some of my friends who have had successful hunts, they have them hanging on their rear view mirrors in their trucks. I have sealed them with a indoor outdoor semi gloss polyurethane to preserve them and give a polished look. I used a drum sander to smoothen the ruf surface of the bone after I cut it and hollowed out the bone when it was still fresh with a soft marrow. I have a couple of photos of a couple I have done with deer leather, turquoise,turkey feathers fox fur, jake beard,turkey spur
