Well after several failed attempts (read about it here http://www.penturners.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=27640) at a new way to cast my feather pens I finally had a success.

Wallstreet III with with blue and green nylong thread, gold metalic thread and gold tinsel. Four golden pheasant tippets, 2 white grizzly hackles and 2 yellow grizzly hackles.

(sorry about the hot spots in the pics, I need to reshoot)

I like it overall, but I think the feathers are kind of lost and to me that's what makes a really unique pen- you don't see many pens made with feathers! But you seem to have to look really hard to find them. If I think of it as just a colorful pen, it's really pretty and the rings are perfectly spaced, but if I think of it as a feather pen, then I think the feathers are overtaken by the other things.[:)]
 
Thanks for the comments [:D]

I agree with ya, its to busy. It looks a lot better in person, the feathers really pop out when ya roll it around in your hands.

Perhaps you would like this one better. Another one I turned this weekend.

You will notice the bottom of the blank is a little to fat. I didn't realize the new bushings for the Wallstreet III were different sizes, the top is bigger than the bottom, have to return this one.

I do like the second one much better for showing off the feathers. And I really do like the first one- but just more as a colorful pen. On the second one though, you can see the feathers really well and the gold bands are kind of like accents for the feathers it looks like. [:)][:)]
