Fly Tying Feathers
Drying bird skins, wings and tails?
I raise Pheasants and Quail and I want to start drying the skins, wings and tails for fly tying materials.
I’ve dried hundreds of rabbit skins over the years, using the basic Borax tan for using the skins as material, but the bird skins I’ve heard are a different story.
One method I heard was submersing the skin in saltwater brine for a few weeks, then washing with Woolite and let dry.
Also a method for wings and butts was to Borax heavily and then place in a paper bag until dry (I want to keep the tails attached rather than having loose feathers around that can easily get damaged).
Any ideas or proven methods?
Thanks
Damn, It sounds like you are the expert doing this !!!
