I hated to just leave my turkey on the floor because you can't really see the whole bird down there. I had seen some other pedistals in the past so I decided to buy some lumber and start cutting and nailing. A few hours of work and about $70 later here's what I ended up with...
Whatcha think?
Here's the frame
Starting the paneling
Here it is finished, but the picture kinda sucks. Wish I had a camera here other than my phone..

Thanks! This is what happens when I'm on vacation and have extra time on my hands. Some people take off work to rest, I take off work to work some more..

Looks nice!
I wanted to try and build an octagon pedistal for the mount I have coming home soon
