Doing the "Morning Burn" w/ photos

[PaddyMac]

Nice photos. The close ups are great. Rob DeS has a video around here somewhere as well.

My wife hasn't yet figured out this is looming on the horizon...

Nice job...they look great!!!

[Thumper Dunker]

Cool.

[Mike Vines]

AHHH, the smell of burnt hair.  My wife, too, likes for me to go away from the house when I burn mine.

[mahantango]

Hey Craig - I can smell them all the way across the river!

[jcar315]

[cacciatore]

I need to try it I have always used choppers.

[GWV]

My first time seeing it as well.  Pretty neat!

Ahh Monkeyball, nothing like a fresh bouquet of freshly made carbon and carotin...(or whatever the heck a turkey feather is made of???)! It's not even Valentines day and you're presenting the good Mrs. Monkeyball with a fresh selection of arrows...now that's REAL love!!Wait until she gets those broadheads for her birthday...no sleep for you then!! Nice pics buddy....john

Really nice looking fletching.  I'm gonna look into one of those burners.  I have been very disappointed with both the Lil Choppers I have.  They came pretty damn dull and offer little if any consistency in feather shape.  Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but if they are that temperamental I don't want to have anything to do with them.

Monkeyball
On the left side of your Young feather burner is a silver bar, what is it? I bought mine used and do not have that piece. Oh I always have used a sharp knife to clean up the feather, never thought of an emery board.

Great pics,...I've never seen one used either, until now. Thanks again.

Craig, Those are some real nice looking arrows. Hope to take a closer look soon! Take care.

Monkeyball, Like the Red, Black and White. You always do nice work. I also have never seen the process. I have always bought pre-cut. So now I have learned how to make my own tabs, and burn my own feathers - both from your HowTo threads. Also your pictures are very clear and I like the step by step. I did have trouble smelling the burn....Please say HI to the cute one in the house.

[huskyarcher]

good job man i kinda like the things you trimmed up! lol. Shows you how weird i am.

[fmscan]

Rob, Thanks for posting the film on burning...

[Elmer Fudd]

Good looking feathers and I'll bet they stabilize just fine. An old friend used to burn really large feathers,like Howard hill, and they sounded like the old films. I love to watch the ark of a large white set of feathers and cap dip. Very soothing and easy to mark and find.

Looks Great Craig
