Just to be clear, the piece that is spliced in still has the quill attached? You are glueing a small bit of quill on top of quill?

Just the skin I strip the feather being used for the splice also.
Did the Native Americans think about all this that much or just do it?

Thanks for posting this.  It should help my arrows look not so boring. Now, if I can just keep from losing them... ;)

That's about as simple as it can be explained, and simpler is better.
