Where do you get the quality peacock quills

 

Norm,

 

I cannot answer that one - I used quills from peacock eye feathers I have had for many years. These are full length feathers from mature peacocks. Most likely I bought them at a craft store, not a flytying materials outlet - but I really cannot be certain of even that.

 

Sorry for not being more help here :blink:

 

Cheers,

Hans W
