A feather burner is on my to make list.  I usually have access to left and right wings from a dozen turkeys every spring...it's hard for me to swallow them being wasted.

Very nice looking work.
Questions;
Snag, how do you get that cream, pearl color crest?
Fletcher, I recently purchased a burner and am having a terrible time getting the ribbon to the shape I want, mostly Pope & Young.
How do you shape your ribbon?
Could you post pictures of your ribbon that has been shaped?
Thank You,
Byron

Great looking arrows to all. I was going to ask if those were "burnt" as I would never guessed chopped could look so good.
