Fw: [VFB] Golden pheasant crest feathers

[Deborah Duran]

Brian I was taught this by Ron Alcott and I haven't damaged any feathers yet.  I use a pot of boiling water on the stove for steam and just waive the feathers through it.    He used tweezers I usually use my fingers to hold the feathers.  That's a good gauge for me if it is getting too hot.  It does a beautiful job of cleaning them.
