I was cutting some full length turkeyfeathers, and looking at all the leftover feather I had after cutting out a 5" shield. Then I got the idea to try making my self a flu-flu. This is the result:
     
   
Bigfoot Sasquatch hybrid (The Dark One) 60", 44# @30"
BearPaw Cayuga 66", 37# @29"
Samick Red Fox 64", 35# @28"

Looks nice.
Whatever you have left over from those you can use to make flies for fly fishing.

I give mine to a gentleman to make kid arrows which he gives away

I use them for flu flus or move them rearward in the chopper for short stumper fetching.

I have used those short pieces for splicing. I call it feather management. With today's prices I need some.

That's how I make my flu flus, but it's not with the leftovers, I can get more two inch feathers out of a full length feather to do six fletched than I can with three five inch feathers and they work really good

Various bows, but if you see me shooting, it's probably a Toelke in my hand!

You can these modified flu flus without a clamp even!  They travel faster than traditional flus and can take a squirrel.
