I can buy them locally. I want to MAKE them, the feet. I was looking for a
mold that could be filled w some kind of putty with wires for support and let it dry Turt "John O. Kopf" wrote in message ...

Sorry, I misunderstood.
You could look for dead birds (quite common if you have west nile in your area :} ) and make casts. Or, if they are the right size, ethnic markets often have WHOLE chickens (including the feet).

"turtle" wrote in message ... No mold exists that I have ever read about. It would be better to buy than to make them. Several books, Rick Butz' book, and several of the bird specific books describe how to make feet. If a club is nearby, give them a try or check around and ask some of the local carver's in your area. |
