Title: Any use for the "ribbons" of feather after chopping?
Post by: Zradix on August 15, 2013, 10:51:00 AM
Hey guys.

Just finished chopping some more feathers.
I've looked at those scrap "ribbons" for a few years now sorta hating to throw em out.

Seems like there should be a use for them...but I sure can't think of one.

Any of you do anything with them?

Thanks!    :thumbsup:  

John

I just throw them out, but maybe you could give them to someone who does crafts.

I've thought the same thing.
My Wife does a lot of scrapbooking pretty talented and creative girl... she couldn't even think of a use for em.

After that I pretty much gave up, but I've never asked the gang...

I've been shoving them in a bag.  Going to try some to check the wind this year...

Could be used in fly tying.
