I dug through the fishing tackle in the garage to find some hooks that I could use. I didn’t find that many silver colored ones and most were too small to use. I cut off the barb and end of the hook and filed it down so it’s not sharp. Using the hooks, I can assemble these without using glue but it’s not that easy. The feathers seem to get all over the place.
Probably won’t be making very many more of these. They take too long to assemble and I’m running out of hooks.
