Guinea primary flight featheers

[melk]

Hi all,
As I struggle to work at my tying place, one foot propped on a chair due to surgery, I "found" some Guinea primary fligjht feathers that I got in a bunch of gear. What are these good for? I've never seen them listed in any pattern.
Thanks,
Mike

The markings on Guinea Flight feathers are beautiful. Here is one of my favorites, using the Guinea Feather.

Agreed with Dave, Guinea makes for gorgeous slip-wings.
