Goose feather?

Is it possible to change the color of a Canada Goose feather? If You can will it remain waterproof?

Nope to the first question. Makes the second irrelevant.

I know Jerry Brumm dyed some with his feather dyes. The red turned them a dark maroon and the blue turned them just a tinge of blue. The dye took well but couldn't really overpower the gray to make it worth it in my opinion. dino

Thanks for the reply's Orion and Dino. Had a hunch there wouldn't be many options, but You never know until You ask.

Tracy, the Guy I got the wings from gave Me a couple of snow Goose wings. They are really small compared to the Canada's. And most of the primary's are dark like the Canada's also.

How You feeling Bud? sometimes a few days makes a big difference.

Maybe I can use some of them on some primitive arrows, I have some river cane to make up.

Feeling great Brett, Alot different than the past surgerys. I'm pumped right now seeing that there might be a end to all this crap. Thanks for asking bud
