Title: Can anyone use some real turkry feathers?
Post by: flatlander37 on April 18, 2007, 06:49:00 PM
Just wondering if anyone knows how to use them and would want them.  My dad killed one this morning with his shotgun( couldn't get a shot with my Widow!) and I saved the wings.  If we should happen to harvest any more I will save those wings also and send them to someone if they will use them.  If I knew how to prepare them I would use them, but don't.    :knothead:

Hey buddy,, this is the easiest way I found to do it,, do a few for yourself and then decide. Although this never made the how to or build along its really easy to do with very basic tools.

Do a search here.  A belt sander or drum sander will help you grind them down, then you chop them to shape with a chopper or use a burner.  They make great fletching, and not hard to do.
