Step 5Prep the Star - Barrel Knot
The turkey dangles from the tripod on a rope sling. The sling is made by tying a Barrel Knot around the turkey. (Houdinni would be proud of this act)
Use natural fiber Sisal Rope to tie around the turkey. Stay away from synthetic plastic ropes. They may melt or may not be safe to use on food.
The following steps show how to tie the Barrel Knot. Wire is used in the photo series as it is easier to "pose" than rope. Obviously do not tie up a frozen turkey still in the wrapper. A frozen stunt double turkey was used for these action shots due to the dangerous nature of this shoot. (salmanilla danger to me that is).
1. Place the turkey on-end (neck end down / legs pointing up)
In the photo below the rope is along the center of the bird (legs on the left and right side)
