| Re: trying to put soft feathers on birds I cant give you any better help than Lori, but I noticed you mentioned a flame shaped cutter to shape your feathers. You might want to try a bull nose cutter, or a ball for the smaller feathers.I like the good diamonds, or a carbide round nose. Try to stay away from cutting a sharp edge as much as possible. Slow down your bit, and move across the edge of the feather carefully, trying to disturb the wood as little as possible. I have a demonstration on my web page. Scroll to the bottom of the page, and click on the Red Poll demo. Might be of some help. http://www.FeathersInWood.com  |
