It took 5 times to cast the feather before it turned out as good as it did. I was tired and almost ready to give up so when I noticed the feather looked a little rough I thought what the heck. I just wanted to see what it would look like. With that being said I started with a pheasant feather and overlayed a pheasant from a North Dacota State Quarter on top. I went through a few feathers so kinda lost track of the color scheme. I wanted to use Bois D' Arc, horse apple, for the main body of the pen. By color scheme I wanted a feather with golds and browns or bronze because as the wood ages it turns darker. It starts out a light yellow and over time it darkens. You can see the streaks in the pen shown. I changing some things on my molds so this was a broad experiment. As always comments welcome. Thanks
