Feathers

Learned a thing or two about feathers while researching for a new piece. 

Feathers on a wing tend to be pointed at the tip. While the barbs on the two sides of the central shaft are asymmetric - barbs on one side are longer than those on the other. 

Feathers on the tail tend to be rounded at the tip.  The barbs tend to be symmetric. 

So I made a wing feather and a tail feather.  And gave them to two of our best friends. They seem to like them.
