You can also split them with a utility knife or razor blade. Then you place them in a clamp and sand the quill to size.

The knife and grinding them works well, but I found it easier to split em by hand.
If you do use a knife, do as they suggest, stick the knife into a solid chunk of wood, then pull the feather through it. Careful though......very addictive.
