Were not talking about calories here. What we are talking about is "burning"feathers.

I prefer to burn mine in the morning and outside at that. Here are a few reasons why:

1. I want to stay married a good long time.

2. My wife leaves for work in the morning.

3. I wear my work clothes from the previous night's work. They will head to the wash after the "burn".

4. Even though I burn outside the odor has the rest of the day to"air out". Those of you who have done the "burn" know what I am talking about.

So if you are ready,let's do it.....

I wish you guys that have never burnt your own fletch could smell this. It was really tricky rotating the arrow and shooting the picture at the same time....

Burn complete. Whiskers are common on some style of burns.....

Lots of whiskers here......

A fine pair of snips will trim them up...

monkeyball · « **Reply #9 on:** June 07, 2011, 02:21:00 PM »

So will a pair of clippers. Pick what works best for you......

After the trim job....

monkeyball · « **Reply #11 on:** June 07, 2011, 02:23:00 PM »

Notice the charred and jagged edges........

monkeyball · « **Reply #12 on:** June 07, 2011, 02:26:00 PM »

An emery board will work nice on the rough edges.

Remember to work in the direction of the feather
fiber.

Nice job. Good details and pictures.

I always like to cover my bases,so I burnt this bunch for my wife. Yellow and blue turned out nice.......maybe she won't notice the smell.

Monkeyball, Thanks for posting this. My dogs are about the only ones who appreciate the smell. FWIW, I just use the edge of the razorknife held at a right angle to scrape off the ash. - John
