Yep, I said the base area in that quote and I don't call the base area way up into the quill area you're talking about and don't touch any of it to the extent you show and I'll bet very few others do, including some of the taxidermist videos I watched showing the procedure they use. Hey, I'm pretty anal and a perfectionist myself in everything I do and to you and your last post I say BS!!! The part we're talking about is covered up and has nothing to do with the appearance of the fan unless someone does such a lousy job removing what they should and not preserving it such that it falls apart, LOL!!
