Making my own Plume de Becasse

It isn't a woodcock feather, but we will see how this stout little feather will work for me once the glue dries. As soon as that happens, I will test it with my drawing ink. If it is a success, I will paint the handle with my signmaker's enamel to give it a nice finish and protect it from the water.

This is a tiny wing feather, attached to a bamboo skewer, glued with gorilla glue and carefully wrapped with strong thread.
