Wood Pidgeon Feathers

[Trevor Davies]

What type of floats could i make from some wood pidgeon feathers that i've obtained?

Also, what is the best way to strip the feathers from the quill without damaging the quill itself and do i need to prepare the quill in any way?

Cheers

Trevor

I have made mini-Avons with them, plus used their thicker, pointed end as float tips set into a balsa body and alloy wire stem. Here is recent F-Madge thread on floats with some good stuff in it - http://www.fishingmagic.com/forums/...ill-floats-refurb-seal-finish-whats-best.html
