I am trying to make alist of members that make feather pens or make feather blanks.
I would also like to know an average price you charge for them so feel free to PM me that info if you do not want to list it. I recently joined a group that may be a big market for them. i woudl like to have the ability to intelligently forward customers to those that make these pens.
on a side note I may also have a source for a huge variety of feathers. I have a plan but this project I am going to do for profit. For those that have an idea of how many different feathers a pheasant can produce. think about the variety you would get from 58 varieties of pheasants.
Finally, I am working on being able to supply quality Jungle **** Eyes, Nails and spades. If having these available is of interest to you please contact me to be placed on a list for them. i will make a list on a first come first serve basis as i have no expectation I can fill the demand. please make all request for Jungle **** feathers via E-mail or PM I will make the list from E-mail responces and then PM's in that order and notify you when I am able to fill requests. For now I will add to expect prices ranging from 80 cents to $1.00 per Jungle **** Eye depending on quality. I also expect to cull feathers for Select quality with prices for those being determined on a per feather basis. I expect most of those to go to the Museum Quality fly tying community for about $5.00 per feather though.
Just a bit of background story to all this. I ahve recently been trying to buy a couple of Jungle Fowl that produce the Jungle **** feathers. in the process I found a huge community of ornamental bird breeders. I am in the process of finding out just what price range will make it worth while for them to gather and mail feathers to me. in short the variety could become staggering. SInce these people also have a high probability of interest in memorializing some of there birds. I am also telling them about the feather pens made here. this group has a membership of over 30,000 breeders. I see at least a potential for a feather pen explosion.
Recent events have forced me to consider other sources of income. I am looking at this situation in that regard as well. I hate to go for profit with this group after all the work I have put into the group buy sort of stuff. But in short this project is going to be a lot like have a second job, in fact I took today off my regular job just to work on it. So anyway I am looking to make a list of not only those intersted in feathers when I can get them, but those that are interested in making them into pens if I find customers for them.
Thanks
