grind feathers?

<< < (2/4) > >>

bootboy:
this was basicly my question....except I wondered if there was a an accurate way to get the same result for every feather. whatever this is cool too. Off to read the article

keekeerun:
I strip them and I also split them down the quill and stick them in a fletching clamp and sand them on the belt sander

Kegan:
Tap the quill with the butt of a knife. Split with said knife. Stick point of knife in block of wood and hold butt in place with chin. Drag quill back and forth along blad until proper size.

Or [soak and] strip 'em ;D.

Pat B:
All good advise about. I have better luck splitting the quill, cut to length, clamp it in a fletch clamp and grind to size on a belt sander. Pat

Minuteman:
I've never been able to hold my butt in place with my chin.  :D You must be very flexible.
