Title: turkey feathers
Post by: E.AllenIII on June 08, 2011, 03:50:00 PM
I have come into the posession of the wings of two turkeys, what is the best way to get the feathers off of the wing.

Side cutters. As close as you can get to the wing bone.

Check Trad Gang sponsor David Mitchell --www.customfeathers.com.  He has a video that shows how to take the feathers off.  He'll also grind them for you.

I cut them off with my bandsaw, one quick zip and they are all off.
