My first crack at a feather pen with Paul's feathers. Not too bad, there were two bubbles that suddenly appeared as I got closer to final dims, but all in all not bad. I know what to change for the next one now.:thumbs:

Superb, this is one of the times you don't want the shine from the lights, but your last photo shows a bit more. Did you tie the feathers? Did you pressure cast them?

I did tie them Peter yes, and the resin did spend some time in the pot, just not long enough. Bit of refinement for the next one needed methinks:thumbs:

That looks great but a whole lot of work. Will look forward to some more photos on how it's done :thumbs:
