I save the extra Vs that I cut from hackle when tying. I stacked a few and pinched them off with hemostats and coated them with epoxy. They make some pretty nice claws.

WOW.Nice.
Looks good! Good idea about the V's. May have to give that a try this winter.

Nice buddy!! I keep pieces of everything
Good job! Yes I even post a jig on here once that was tied totally from scraps just to show, keep stuff! I keep everything even after I cut the tip off a neck hackle and the V's off, I still keep the rest unless nothing is left. You can leave just a little of a V on that stem and actually tie a tail of just using that or if small, maybe 2 of them can make a tail for sure!
Keep all kinds of things and never know when it's just the right part for something.

That's a good idea. Way to think outside the box.
