When I first started to tie using game bird skins, I saved all of the aftershaft feathers because they looked so "buggy" to me. I still have a bunch (after dumping a lot of them), and after watching the last couple of excellent SBS presentations by ScottP, a few of them will finally be put to good use. Thanks, Scott :) . BTW, those Petitjean clamps used in the previous tutorial are handy to have around, but if you don't have them, large binder clips or the clasps sold for sealing opened snack bags will work too.
