Have a buddy on another board that gets his peacock from these folks www.swalefandson.com he's sent me some and it's really nice stuff

On a thread over at Clarks Classic Mike Valla says:

"Something about that stripped peacock quill body just makes me smile--every time. About the Peacock. I've been asked about getting good peacock eyes. Well, I purchase the feathers in bulk--100 at a time. And sort through all of them, looking for good segmentation. You can usually spot good eyes by looking at the back of the eye. You can actually see the segmentation potential from the back. It takes some practice, like anything, but that's the trick. Out of the 100, I might get 12-15 "good" eyes.

With a hundred full feathers there's gotta be some good herl in their somewhere's!!
