Attach the thread on the hook. 

Yeah, it looks odd attach the hook this way in the vise. BUT this is my way of tying it ;)

Mount a picea of Stripped Peacock Quill. There is a lot of them in the market, I use stripped quills from the Polish company "Polish Quills" - and I love their products. 

I mount the peacock quill at the thickest end in hook sizes up to 14-16. On smaller hooks I turn the quill

Secure the quill and go forwards again with the tying thread

Use your tying thread to make the body. Secure the thread with a whipfinish or a half stitch at the end

Instead of using UV glue or varnish over the peacock quill at the end. I use super glue under the quill, before I wrap it. 

That`s because I don`t want to loose the original look/gloss of it

Now you can make the body. Do some tight turns. Secure it when you reach the top of your body

Cut off the excess. 

For those who want to add UV glue, do it now. 

Your Stripped Peacock Quill body is now finished.
