Tutorial for Casting Feathers

This is the process I use for my feather pens...

First thing I want to say is I am TERRIBLE at writing and even worse at explaining things so keep that in mind as you read this.

Comments are always appreciated.

If you make one I would love to see it. Pleae post a link to it so myself and others can check it out. To post a link to it click on the "Add Comments" link on the left side of this page.

Thanks and Happy Turnings,
Shane Whitlock

just starting turning...and awed by the variety

This is really nice! I'm totally in awe of all the things that can be done in the casting process. I have plenty of my own ideas and this helps me to make them come to fruition. Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks Shane for posting. It was great help. I made a couple ringneck pheasant feather pens that were given to my dad and a donation for a cancer patient. They were received well. Thank You!
