feathers for over 10 years and I would like to try some 5 1/2`` shield cut high back.I have reshape the blade on my feather burner to shield
shape.I WOULD LIKE to known what is the height
of a shield cut 5 1/2`` high back feather at it`s
highest point.Could someone please measure one and post the measurement for me.

3/4" on my high back shields.

Like Pinecone I burn mine about 3/4" high.One thing I did when I burnt sheild feathers I would use two different ribbons for doing them.I made the first ribbon to burn the sweep front to back.Then I would change ribbons to burn the sheild by burning the back end at the angle.It would make the sheild a sharper point and with two seperate ribbons I could burn sheild feathers at different lengths and heights with just two ribbons.I could make 4",4.5",5",5.25",5.5" sheilds and make them 5/8",3/4" high or any height or length I wanted with two seperate ribbons.

Thank you very much Guys.I am on my way to my
garage to burn some fletch feathers.
