Title: Left or right?
Post by: DC on December 10, 2014, 02:01:36 pm: I'm going to sort, bag and label my feathers. I get them in bulk from a turkey farm. Can you tell me from the picture which is left or right. The quills are groove side up.

I believe the left is on the right and right is on the left
The bottom is facing up so it's opposite.

Right right, left left. Imagine them hooked to a birds wing.

That's why I laid them out like that but I just needed confirmation.
