    Well done Stevo

    I assume it is a tie down version, ie the feathers are tied down at each end of the tube?

    Yep this is a tie down version. It was a little challenging as the feathers i have are only just long enough.

    I want to do some phesant feathers but have to work out which glue will work best. think there will be a few more failures

    Nicely done. I think feathers would try my patience too much. I've tried a couple before, but the feathers have never stayed down, but then I didn't tie them either.
