Making fletchings
JW_Halverson:
I always run my feathers through a stream of steam from a kettle on the stove before I strip them. It helps to pl;ump up the fletch as well as restore the integrity of the "skin" of the central spine of the feather. I much prefer stripping to cutting feathers. And even with lots of experience and plenty of feathers to practice with, I can still find days when it just ain't gonna happen the way I want it to happen.
Aaron H:
I'm gonna have to try that steam trick, thanks JW

Especially when I am at Pappy's place and drinking crick water from a mason jar.
