I've been contemplating taking some feathers and cutting them into new designs and testing them out. You know, there's the typical shields, parabolics, pope and young, etc.. feathers, but they way i think about it, these came about through people just fooling around and making prototypes and them some of them seemed to work and took off into what we use today. So, has any one else tried such a thing? Any pictures you can share of your creation? Any bits of knowledge you can share? What "rules" one might need to consider, the defenite "do's" and "do not's" of feather fletching designs? ... Just curious.
