What's for dinner

[laspringer]

Can you guess? First shot in a corn field.
I wanted to cast this for some time now but had to
wait for the season to open to get the feathers.
This is what I call pheasant under poly resin.

Now that's pretty cool!

 

[pmichris]

That is way cool, how was dinner?

 

[dscott]

great pen did you just glue it to the tubes and cast it great pen

 

[jjenk02]

VERY nice, I'd like to know how you did it also[8D]

 

[JDPens]

That looks really good!
I'd like to know how you did that as well (not that that's anywhere close to my current skill level [] )

 

[ken69912001]

Ditto what he said.

Very good looking pen too. I can hear the wheels turning in the collective minds of the members thinking about other feathers []

 

[Penmonkey]

Very nice. Great idea.

I had thought of trying the same thing with parakeet and even peacock feathers. I was keeping the idea under wraps, but now that someone else has done it, well, it's very, very cool.

 

[twoofakind]

Did you get all the shot out?[] Very cool idea.

You sure picked a nicer feather than I did. Great job!

 

[johncrane]

looks fantastic Alan well done mate![]

 

[gerryr]

Very nicely done. I've tried that twice and had a wretched mess both times.[] But, I didn't try casting it. Did the resin do anything to the color of the feathers?

 

[BRobbins629]

Good idea and better execution (of the pen that is)!

 

[laspringer]

Yes the meal was good.
CA glued the feathers to the tube.
No the resin did not change the color of the feathers but the
CA made everything darker than the natural color.
I did paint the tubes with butter pecan acrylic paint.
Goose & duck seasons are open and hope to get another good meal []
and turkey season is up next.
I think you will see some of the other feather pens.

[Jim15]

Very, very nice pen.

 

[broitblat]

That looks great! Are you able to overlap feathers to avoid any visible seams?
