I get the basic idea. I have looked at countless feathers to see how they appear. However I cannot seem to come up with a reasonable way to make the trip in iron.

jj2k, i just saw you're post and have this to offer: http://www.geocities.com/zoellerforge/feathers.html

if nothing else, you could ask him how he did it.

Angle iron is very handy for making escutcheons for plant hangers door knockers and such.The center rib makes a nice architectural feature especially for crafstman type hardware.

ive made leaves before using round stock and drawing one end to a point. then flatten it out on the horn of the anvil to give it a beveled edge. doing the same on squared stock works quicker for me. just turn the square so that you are striking it from a diamond shape. clear as mud?

[] then go to ^ maybe that will help (?)
