RE: Who makes their own feather fletching
Your in the wrong place, try leatherwall, or trad gang.
I've made my own feathers, I use a young feather burner. A buddy uses the little choper thing. There are jigs for rigging the grinding, or you can plane it. In the olden days they sometimes peeled it. so the feather was attached to the quill surface, and nothing else. Very low profile.
