Title: Feather splicing
Post by: DC on May 18, 2018, 10:02:08 am

Are feathers from different species spliceable? Will they stick together.

They are all made the same. I'd say just give it a try. Theoretically they should work.

Peacock wing feathers are my favorite natural fletching.  The stiffness is in between turkey wing and secondary.  The hard part of splicing is getting feathers that have the same angle so they match up.

These lined up not to bad. I posted them on another post.
