I agree with the previous comment. Using a coin as a trimming guide is really smart! well done buddy

[@lowcountrytobackcountryins3049]

Very nice tie. I never thought about using a dime for a trimming guide. That's pretty slick!

Super nice, any chance you can share what you are doing to the white and tan marabou to prep it for the collar? The white looks like you are just stripping the feathers off on side and tying them in. The tan is looks like you rip the point off and cut the stem but hard to tell.

Oh no .Not another Charlie Chaplin presentation, or by a dumb mute 😅

THAT IS NOT MUSIC. IT IS A TERRIBLE IRRITATING NOISE .
