Welcome to the site, nice video. Do mine similar, Goose also.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. It is nice to have a community of like minded individuals. Great seeing all of you with your choppers too getting it done the DIY way.

Someone mentioned the wild fletching guy. Heard about his business, it is a great idea. I wish him success, its a great service to offer and giving people the option to get their feathers processed.

Someone asked where in Canada I am at. From the eastern woodlands of Ontario somewhere along the Grand River. 

Great video think I might have to revamp some of my feather grinding.

I've been using natural turkey for about 11 years. I do very little processing.

I strip them, trim a little cleaner and length, clamp and glue. Burn on a burner to shape. No sanding and no quill. I think people get nervous about that quill being removed, but it makes zero difference, although there's less to damage rests at all...

Great video! Welcome to the trad gang!

Thanks for the feedback and appreciate anyone who watched. Will be making more stuff like this in the future. Thanks

You ever shoot cane arrows? They fly great and are very durable. Little bit of time and work involved but they are worth the effort.

Not yet. I have a two spots located where I know it grows. I haven't done enough research yet into when is the best time to harvest it, I would imagine late summer, early fall before it is frosted. Making the hardwood footings seems easy enough.

Little something I'm working on.

  Nice
