Crafting Quills

StJost brings us a detailed tutorial on turning feathers into functional writing quills.  These are great props for both live action and tabletop games.  Via Eric Hart's Prop Agenda.

I’m glad you posted this article about making quill pens. It will be a help for those who want to make realistic period prop documents and books. The pens themselves are great props as well. The best thing about the article is the description of hardening the quill tip, which is often left out of process when described to modern people. Here are a couple of other articles about quill pen making: http://www.flick.com/~liralen/quills/quills.html and http://www.instructables.com/id/Making-a-quill-pen/
