my first membrane spliced&burned feathers
« on: March 25, 2012, 09:50:00 PM »
its really not very cost effective to do this,..I DONT THINK SO!
 I waisted a lot of feathers doing these, and i dont think feathers are as good as they used to be,(pretty thin and flimsy)..but i had to try.
 
 
 
 
but i like the way they turned out.

It's always fun to try something new, they turned out really well!  Enjoy shooting them.

They look great to me. And yes you can have a little feather waste.But its worth it in the end.And I love the tracers, what did you use for them?

Cost effective..........no, but it IS a lot of fun,and you can be unique. What did you use for the "tracers"?  :thumbsup:
Hmmmmm. I know you think you understand what you thought I said, but I'm
not sure that what you heard is what I actually meant!

Looks good - particularly with the tracers.

May not be cost effective in terms of wastage or man-hours, but once you've caught the bug it's hard to go back to plain feathers - they just seems to lack character.
