Cutting a Quill

File:Quill8.gif
Cutting a quill: To "nib" the pen, rest the underside of the point on a smooth, hard surface. Thin the tip from the top side by 'scraping' the blade forward at a shallow angle; then make a vertical cut, either at right angles to the slit or obliquely....
File:Quill7.gif
Cutting a quill: If the underside of the nib is too concave, scrape it flat with a clean scooping cut, removing as little quill as possible.
File:Quill6.gif
Cutting a quill: Shape the nib on the opposite side, making sure the two halves match.
File:Quill5.gif
Cutting a quill: Shape the nib on one side of the slit.
File:Quill4.gif
Cutting a quill: Slice a scoop from the underside of the pen, to about half its diameter, and centred on the slit.
File:Quill3.gif
Cutting a quill: Make a slit in the top centre of the barrel. The best way to do this is to place the point of the knife inside the barrel, and lever the knife blade gently upwards, releasing pressure as soon as a crack occurs.
File:Quill2.gif
Cutting a quill: Cut away the tip of the barrel at a steep angle. Remove the membrane from inside the feather.
File:Quill1.gif
Cutting a quill: First shorten the plume (amount of shortening is optional). Then strip away the barb (which would otherwise rest uncomfortably against the knuckle of the index finger).
