Feather Pen Tutorial

[Shane]

Well I finally got the tutorial done for the feather pens.
http://www.shanewhitlock.com/photo/v/wood/pens/feather_tut/

This is the one I made for it. It's not the prettiest or the fanciest one I have done but it gives ya a good idea of how to go about making them. I do my feather inlay pens pretty much the same way except those have multiple castings and a few other secrets

If ya make one I would love to see it ... Thanks.

Comments/Critiques always appreciated.

Happy Turnings,
Shane Whitlock

Thanks for your efforts in writing the tutorial. BTW, you didn't point out that the brass tubes needed to be painted, but I believe most would figure that out just from seeing that yours were painted in the tutorial pictures. Ya did great!

Thanks for the heads-up Fred but the 2nd picture in the tut says "I paint the tubes black cause the feathers turn a little transparent when ya cast them."

But if you or anyone else does find something please let me know. Its been a long day today and I am sure I missed a few things.

Happy Turnings,

A well presented tutorial

Can it be done without the pressure pot.
