wow, i thought that was a real feather!!!!

Thanks for the compliment but it needs a little more work to be the way I want it. I really didn't have the right knives to do the detail work, but the blades are on order, and then practice, practice, practice.

Tom, I bought the "How to carve feathers" by Rob Barr from Hide Crafters and a couple of others also. I hope I can make them look a lot more realistic than that one, so lilke I said,

Practice, Practice, Practice, and like "Larry tje Cable Guy" and "Git-R-Done," LOL.

Hey Karl,

You're doing great with the feathers. Each one will get better. I like the feathers to look ragged and rough like some of the ones you posted. Painting gets better with practice, so keep at it. I need to make some more, seems like every time I have a few, someone wants one.

I really like Robb's videos. He makes his projects look so easy. Cant wait to see how they turn out for you.
