Pheasant feather backing application
Josh B:
Thanks Clint! I feel bad about asking this, but does anybody know this fella's name? I know I've met him, but I'm terrible with names. :-[ Anyway, I hope the bow serves him well! Josh
osage outlaw:
Didn't catch his name but he is wearing a KTBA shirt. He told me where he lived in KY but I forgot.
Cloudfeather:
Kind of an old thread, but I recently scored some pheasant tail feathers from my cousin. I wanted to do one feather coming out of the handle wrap on each limb. Would the TBIII still work but use it more sparingly as to not have it show around the edges of the feathers? I plan on doing a shellac and tru oil finish. Thanks.
Josh B:
Yep, it should still work. Remember to shave down the underside of the quill so it will lay flat. It would probably be a good idea to clean the natural oils of the feathers as well. I think the oils are what were causing me grief. As far as the TBIII goes, I wouldn't worry about using too much. Once you get your feather positioned, you can clean up any excess with a warm wet cloth as long as you don't let the glue set. Josh
Stoner:
That was something I thought about along time ago but did not know where to start. Now I'm sick about all the feathers that got plucked into the wind. Thanks for sharing & great craftsmanship. John
