DIY feather burner?
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.
