DIY feather burner?

<< < (5/7) > >>

DC:
Do you think there is an advantage to burning the fletch before or after attaching it to the arrow? My brain says after might be truer but it may just be covering for a crooked shaft or something.

lebhuntfish:
After is the way my burner is made to do it.  Not sure how the consistency would be doing it before it was glued on.

I burn after fletching to be sure the feathers are evenly shaped. You have to be careful not to scorch the shaft, binding or paint.

Hawkdancer:
I think we as a group come up with a lot of neat jigs, tools, and such!  I like Patrick's set up, and will try to duplicate it. 
JEB, you might try smudging sage and/or sweet grass while doing the feathers!  White sage if you can find it!  Lots of Fabreze, maybe!
Good ideas everyone, thanks,
Hawkdancer
