How to strip goose biots

Recommended Posts

Goose biots are the feather fibers from the leading edge of wing feathers. Take a single edge razor and cut the stem (rachis), and keep the side with the shorter fibers - biots. Some cut the stem so only a small bit of it (maybe 1/4 of it) is attached to the biot fibers.

I just leave them on the whole feather until I need them.
