Feathers Quill pen

Submitted by Beth

You can make your own quill pen out of a large bird feather - goose feathers are the best. Cut the horny, hollow barrel of the feather into the shape of a nib with a sharp knife or pair of nail scissors, and then cut a small slit in the center of the nib. Then you just dip the nib into ink to write.
