How do I take care of Porcupine quills
Pat B:
Jerry, I got the quills in the mail. I appreciate them and the instruction pages you sent. Now, I guess I have to start messing with the quills. I have some scraps of brain tanned to practice with. Can you suggest a place to get the thread and needles or they just any sewing thread and needles?
You asked for broadheads. Any particular style? I have Zwicky grizzleys, Grizzleys and Wensel Woodsman(3 blade) and some trade points.
Pat B:
What do you do with the quill tips when you cut them off. Is there a safe way to discard them?
Hawkdancer:
Probably wrap them in a paper towel and stick them into a freezer bag and into the trash, or just bury them in the garden, maybe with the flintknapping chips. I think some trade points would work, I need to learn to wrap them on to a shaft. I am partial to Zwickey's, though! My first set of arrows had Zwicky broadheads, they are hiding somewhere in my plunder >:D!

Pat B:
Jerry, I'll send you a couple of each to pay with. :OK
Thanks again.
Hawkdancer:
Thanks!! I have been brainstorming my cresting pattern and personal markings for arrows. Also have to figure out how to set up and use my chronograph.
Jerry
