Grade A Barred Turkey Smudging Feather (no stains, cuts, pieces missing)

My feather came very light coloured rather than dark but all around, it's a pretty good feather. It's not a painted feather so make sure you understand when purchasing this is a fragile feather. I use mine for my cowboy hat and it's done well rain and shine

This Turkey feather is the perfect added tool to smudging/ saging your house.

This is a very nice feather that was exactly what I was hoping for. The size, quality and value are all very good.I will order from this seller again.

I purchased two different Sage Smudge sticks, this the smaller of the two, different manufacturers'. I like this one best, and will buy it again. I bought it along with the Grade A Barred Turkey Smudging feather, and the Abalone Shell & the 6" Wooden Tripod, I am happy with all of my purchases. Even like the look of the tripod on any surface. Nice...

I can understand how some would complain this is made out of plastic. Smell the feathers and to me it doesn't smell like a turkey. Go and find a feather around and smell it - it has a different smell. Yes, it's plastic but this isn't to say it's worthless. This review is to say it does what it's suppose to do; fan out the sage smoke around the room. Perhaps too much hype on the title to get the product to sell, but again it functions as it suppose to. It won't even matter if you had a Chinese fan - because it would do the same function - fan out the sage smoke.The feather is good, it works as it's suppose to. If you are unhappy, but means you can either create a paper fan, buy a Chinese fan, pluck a turkey feather or find any other alternative solutions. I personally didn't care if it was a real feather or not - if it was real, my cats would've been locked on to the scent and shredded it apart. I carried it in front of them and they didn't even know what it was. Was I bothered? Nope, just accepted it as a hyped product and still was glad I purchased it.So, you can buy this - just keep in mind you get what you get. :)

Another reviewer commented that this thing is fake. The feather I got is in no way fake. This is the real deal. Depending on who you talk to about smudging, a feather is optional. If you are going to use one however, use a natural one. If you live in an area where feathers are hard to come by, then this is a great deal. Just keep it away from cats.I will second what another reviewer indicated that the feather itself is not well packaged. Probably the only reason mine held up is that it shipped with other items and there were enough air pillows to keep it from getting messed up. If this was sent in some type of mailer envelope, it would have gotten destroyed.

Packaging was not appropriate for such a delicate item. It was put in a plastic baggy and shipped in one of those plastic shipping bags which made it easy for the feather to get damaged, which is how it arrived. Also, the feather was very small for such a high price. Not high quality at all. You'd think they'd at least ship it in a stiffer more sturdy cardboard envelope or something. I don't feel the description of the product was accurate as smudging feathers are not so small.

This is an item that ships only with other items that are larger, which is kind of a pain when you need one on the fast side since you'll need to put together more just because you picked this one too.That said, it's a nice big one (your mileage may vary), does what it should and it is very nice to be able to find them here--many similar supplies are hard to find if one doesn't live in an urban area.
