Feather stripping.
Justin Snyder:
I was stripping mine for a while. I decided I didn't like the feathers as well as the ones that I ground. Now I do it the way Pat does.
DanaM:
Yup I grind em, if ya flatten the quill with a hammer first they split with a knife pretty easy, try an alaskan ulu knife it works real nice to split the quill.
I have two strips of metal about an 1/8" thick that I use with two paper clamps as my grinding jig, get the feather positioned between the two pieces of metal clamp and then grind on the belt sander.
I bought one of them high dollar feather grinders from 3 rivers and hated it, leaves the quill way to thick for my liking :(
El Destructo:
DAna ...you still have the 3 Rivers Grinder? If so email Me........
DanaM:
Nope Mike I traded it Timo, I hated it too slow and left em too thick
Pat B:
Pappy has a great set up for splitting and grinding feathers. Hey Pappy, got any pics of your set up?
