Hi Josh,

Looks like you figured it out. One of Robb's tips is to use a diagonal lined beveler to bevel the vein in the center of the feather. Then you use the lines from the beveler as a guide for the angle on your knife cuts. Other than that, each one you do will just get better. The hardest part for me is blending where the colors change, but it looks like you have that down pretty good already.

Missed this one, nice to see you did so well Josh especially since I've been following your development all the way and did my first feather a while ago.

Looking very good, I don't dare try colouring but what the heck...I'm only interested in ravens feathers anyway;-)

Just sitting with a small pair that I thought I'd make earrings out of to match a figure raven carved bracer.

Good job!
