Title: A couple for the birds...
Post by: RC on October 09, 2010, 01:08:00 AM

Being I`m spending a lot of "House" time of late with a torn calf muscle I decided to do some stuff inside. My first project was to turn some longbow killed Turkey wings into some Turkey killing arrows. I split the feathers with a box cutter and put them in my clamp and shaped the quills with my Wifes emory board...don`t tell her.
Trimmed them after they were glued on by hand. I think they turned out purty good.RC

How long until you can get back out? All the best in your recovery.

Now those turkey feathers will get to fly again.


I'm still praying for a quick and complete healing brother.

Those look great. I never was any good at shaping feathers by hand. Praying also for quick recovery of your injury!

Nice project to keep you occupied.  I hope you recovery quickly and fully.  I am sure the local hogs and deer are breathing a bit easier with you laid up.
