As I mentioned in the video for assembling the wings for the Canary this is the supplemental video for assembling the wings for the Davis Special. I must apologize... I have been referring to this fly as the "Dave's" special but it is actually the "Davis" special. I did an additional video for assembling these wings because there is a shoulder in the Davis Special which has different consideration when picking out the feathers and sizing for the shoulder.

All in all, this video does explain in detail the selection of various feathers, how I process them as well as how I cement them together. There is enough information and instruction in this video to get you started assembling your own wings for some Carrie Stevens streamers.

Included below is a link to the Hilyard book I mention in the video as well as links to the articles by Don Bastian on cementing these wings. - Enjoy
