I like things like that. I am no good at it. I can fix stuff and make things that are unbreakable by morons but I’ve no artistic talent whatsoever!!
what’s the plan with that? Pal worked with a guy who used to make them and then when he had a load, assemble them into a goose or a heron and sell them. He charged quite a bit

Thanks mate
Drawing and cutting probably took me about 30mins then the hammering maybe another 40mins or so... I had to have a break haha I'll try again tomorrow!
You never know unless you try mate, I only started metal art myself this year
This feather was meant to be a trial piece but its come out better than I had hoped so far! Im not sure what I'm going to do with it maybe mount it on a oak base and perhaps heat it up and try it in different colours

A nice brass or glass ink well would go nice with it as a setting.
Nice work BTW

See. That’s what I mean! I’d never have thought of that. Even if I did have the talent to make a feather
Exactly why I'm a member of groups like this
Hmm that could look nice cheers for the comment much appreciated

That’s lovely, how have you done it - sand bag or bitumen, hammer and chisel?
Thank you.
I've been meaning to buy a sand bag it would probably make my life much easier when it comes to things like this.
For the centre i just ground a groove in some wood and used a blunt chisel to shape it, I then used a pein hammer for the veins
