I haven't vanished entirely. I have been working on the wife's bow still. It is just difficult to work indoors while she is working on homework in the next room. I don't want to distract her from that.

Anyway, progress is going slow on that. However, I got my hands on some goose wings and did some plucking tonight:

I have no idea what I'm doing, but there has to be some good ones in there...

Size comparison of the array of feathers I took.

So, I didn't really know what was what while I was working on it, but I just tried to pluck anything that looked about the size I'd need for fletches, or larger. I mangled some, and others are probably too small, but I can use them for practice, I think. Also got a few bamboo stakes at Lowes for $0.98 each. I'll probably go back for more of those and buy them out at that price. Even if I get a few dogs, I'll be able to make use of them somehow.
