What do you think. What could I have done better. I used 1/4 inch BB for the cutting.

Looks pretty good to me Gene! The only thing I would of done differently is I would of used a Hardwood. Something like Mahogany, Cherry or walnut.

I think you are right Dan. The spear is kind of fragil.

Gene you did good.. I've made many of the trails end feathers, not that pattern but one similar.. I used BB also and had no trouble with the piece being too fragile, but again I like the tiny things.. Please keep cutting you're doing great... Sheila

I agree with Dan, cut them out of hard wood next time apart from that you did a great job.
