An other found item among my old files,
these are the best illustrations of hackle sources
I have seen.

Donald,
I could reach thru the screen and kiss you!
That diagram of what the different parts of the wing is something I was getting ready to ask about.
Everytime a Poster states that they have used a "first order gamma goofy delta feather" . It makes about that much sense to me and I'm sure that most beginners feel just as informed.
You wouldn't happen to have any other sketches of other itty-bitty birdy parts that explain such things you might be willing to post?
Please, pretty, pretty pluease???????

Thanks,
hank

I had a reference sketch from ??, but not nearly as clear and understandable as those two posts.
Those go in my Soft Hackle notebook.
I thank both of you gentlemen.

Yes, thanks, Stendalen - but I have to say, that bird doesn't look well....

In the interst of international relations, anybody who starts off on the Monty Python parrot sketch - will be shot!!

andrew, (too ready for planing)

I have added a couple more simpler diagrams, plus more info.

There is a MENU slot as well.
