DIY feather burner?

<< < (6/7) > >>

JEB:
Back in the 60's in dads Archery shop I used to fletch and then burn.  This stick gives me a chance to burn smaller feathers for kids arrows and not have so much feather waste.  I won't mess with it now until spring and we get back from the SW .

I also like to fletch pencils with 1" feathers and give them away to the young ones.  This gives me a chance to burn that size feather also.

Hawkdancer:
JEB,
Can you post a pic of the feather stick?  Sounds like a neat idea.  Thanks,
Hawkdancer

JEB:
Here you go. You slide the feather into the cut out slot.

lebhuntfish:
Thats cool,  I guess it would work almost like it was on the arrow.

JEB:
It does work like it is on the arrow. I just slide the feather out of the groove and snip the front and back of the feather to length .  I needed that thing like I needed a hole in my head but it does allow me to use smaller feathers for kids arrows rather than toss them.  That is the only reason I bought it.
