(1) 12 inch peice of 1/2 inch square hot rolled

and

(1) 1 inch wide 1/4 thick peice of flat bar 6 inches long. GO TO IT!

Man. you guys made it hard. I already started with RR spike and a chunk of 1/4x1, although mine was longer than 6 inches.
I finished it with min-wax spray on lacquer (sp). I am doing a limited run of knockers for Christmas presents.



I will try the limits mentioned above, although the turkey idea is a little ahead of my time
