Wow!!! Love the tips you guys gave. Copper wire I didn't think of. I have a couple ideas I want to try. One is a design like Dave has on the side of his bow. I'll certainly check into the wire for that. My other idea is to do a bald eagle. Using copper from sheet material for the back feathers. I took a guess on what thickness to use and got a sheet .010" thick. Brass for beak and feet and something for white. Steve's tip of Inlace I like. They have a White Pearl that might look great for the head and tail feathers. Just shot off an email to get some Inlace.
I plan to use my Dremel with a router attachment. They say the .010 can be cut with scissors. If not I'll have to take the advice and get a saw. You guys are masters. Thanks for the help.
