I bought one from 3 rivers and Im not overly thrilled with the results :-\

Ok David you were right I was wrong ;) Inside joke

A straight fletch clamp, like for a JoJan fletcher works well for grinding feathers.   Pappy has the ticket though. Maybe he will post pics of his feather splitter.     Pat

Cromm:
Sounds good to me........

I cut them to aprox. length.  cut the quill with a razorblade down the center.  Then in a homemade clamp(Torges type) I plane the quill with a small block plane.  Then sand with 80 to about the final thickness.  Then put in a fletching clamp and sand with 120 to the thickness I want and cut and sand the edges.
