I never knew turkey feathers had all those colors in them - greens, blues, yellows... that looks really good man!  Makes me wonder what peacock feathers would look like on a bow.

That is a beautiful bow.  Meticulous work, I bet that feather backing was!  Beautiful!

Thanks guys.... I've already started experimenting with pheasant. Not sure how peacock would look..... it may look gold in the light.  I know from fly fishing it looks gold under water.... not sure. Guinea feathers may look cool also?

Fantastic.  Beautiful.  One of a kind.  Never heard of or seen anything like it.  You should be very proud.

Simply Beautiful.

Congratulations.

I have also admired the colors seen in the feathers from a wild turkey.  The only way I've thought to display them (other than fletching arras with em) was stuck in a hat.  Even if the idea wasn't yours, it was put together in a most creative way.  Great job!!
