Start on the underside and get as much of the meat off the bone as you can. Don't worry about the last one at the tip. Fill the boned out area with borax, and add some pepper to the mix, will help keeps the bugs off. There is no thing as too much, the more of each the better. Turn the wings over and staple to a piece of plywood or heavy cordboard the shape you want. Put mix on base of beard and set aside till later. Same with the tail. DO NOT WASH!.
Cut the spurs off so you have about 3/8" of bone on either side, leave the skin on the bone. take a piece of wire and clean out the center of the bone and pack with the borax and pepper mix. Keep everything in a cool place, and I leave for a month, that will let the smell go and everything set.
