Phesant feathers

Submitted by Steve on 5/18/06 at 11:16 AM. ( ) 12.31.231.1

I am not a taxidermist.
I just have a quick question about trying to make the feathers on my phesant mount look better. They appear VERY ruffled, with some of the soft under feathers showing. Is their a simple method for a novice to smooth these out? Or do I have to take it to someone to repair?

Thank You,

this sounds like the feather tracks weren't opened up ,or cleaned properly ,did you mount it yourself if so how.

No, I didn't do it myself. I was short on money, and took it to a local guy that "works cheap". So, I am not sure of the method used to prep the feather tracks.

Do you have any advice?
Thanks,
Steve
