Any idea how too?

Using a full length commercial feather, does any one know how to remove all the white, whatever it is called, from the quill and leave it like it would have been stripped?  I am talking about feathers that have already been ground.

Pat B:
Charlie, you might try stripping them like with full length feathers. May help to re-hydrate them first.

aero86:
how thin should you get the quill of the feather?

stringstretcher:
Pat. I have tried that but can not get the quill completely seperated or they break.  I am trying something, and if it works I will post what I am doing.  But I have to find a way to get stripped colored full length feathers.  I can do the turkey feathers just fine, but I want some colored feathers and have plenty of full lenght RW feathers.  Just have to get it figured out.

Pat B:
If the feathers are dry they are hard to strip or break before they completely strip off. Try hydrating a few in a baggy with a wet rag for a few hours and see if that helps.
