Feather rest

Anyone making their own feather rest, I need some Ideas and pics.

I have made a number of them.  I trim the feather so the quill is the same width as the feather itself, then mount them to a piece of high tack double backed tape.  Trim to shape ( I like a feather burner for this).  They've worked quite well.

Trap has some of the finest feather rest to be found, give him a shout.  I was lucky enough to score a couple in a trade.

I chop 'em, grind the excess quill off the side, glue 'em to 1-2oz leather with superglue, then kiss 'em to my belt grinder to taper it toward the riser.
It doesn't take very long to make them, but if I didn't have a pile of feather trimmings I'd just buy them from Trap!  I don't see how he sells them for what he does!!

Hey Jim, hope You and Joe are doing well. I ordered 2 from Trap should be here any day. I have one on a 1962 Kodiak special and their the bomb.

Trap offers several colors and like Jeremy said His prices are great.

I would like to try these as well.  I make all my own feathers from turkeys I have shot.  
I need a little more info here.  How do I contact Trap?  and is the sight to search ( Making feather rests) on the computer web or here in Trad gang?

Thanks,
