Thanks for the tutorial, Kevin. I think I will try it on the rod I am working on. I'm not sure what feathers I will use, though. I have some good guinea feathers and a nice partridge skin, that might be interesting.

It really is pretty simple. You can use all kinds of feathers and can even combine bits and pieces to create images. I have done inlays that look like traditional winged wets from little feather bits.

Be careful how you live. You may be the only Bible some person ever reads.
Really great tutorial Kevin - many thanks!

Thank you, Kevin!! I will be attempting this one ... only with FAR less expensive feathers to start!! How 'bout if you do a tutorial on the rattan grip, too??

A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.
Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.

baitwaister,
Thank you for the links to the rattan grips!! They're wonderful!!
Only problem with them, is that I can't very easily give Kevin a hard time about them, if I have them available otherwise!! And it's such fun to give him a hard time!!!
