I bought them like this |
Curled Swords |
Trimmed Eyes + Curled Swords |
1.I stripped all the barb feathers from the vein. |
2. Straighten out the eye a bit and hit it flat with the iron for a second or two. Watch it, they burn pretty fierce and fast. |
3. I trim the eye. just because I like to. |
4 Hit it with the iron again. It's ready |
The Swords
1 Clean up the all ready stripped side of all the straggly barbs |
2 Be careful when you do it by hand, scissors come in handy for this part. |
3 Ready |
4 Hold the feather with your left hand and use the knife along the vein just like curling ribbon for gift wrapping |
5 Curl until you get the right curl for you |
6 All curled up |
