grind feathers?

(1/4) > >>

wanabehunter:
I bought alot of whole turkey feathers but I dunno how to get a thin even layer of the quill like alot of the fletchings I see on here

1/2primitive:
Strip them, that's what I do. Mickey Lotz just wrote a nice tutorial for the upcoming mag, look at it on the PA homepage.

yep i peel them :)

Hillbilly:
Either strip them, or split the quill down the center in the natural groove, then sand or grind it down.

Mike_A:
Same here stipping them is the way to go. If you have trouble keeping them in one piece try soaking them in warm water for about 10 minutes then strip them. I've had a lot of luck with this method. Hope this helps. Mike
