I want to try to do the feather inlay. I looked at the pictures in the photo gallery. It makes the rods look nice. Also followed some of the topics on here about it. Now color preserver was mentioned. Will FC preserver work or does it have to be anything special. Will the synthetic jungle cock feathers work or not. And last question, rod finish is used to cover them right.

I believe some people use FC CP for feather inlays, but I, and a lot of other people, prefer Gudebord 811, because it's clear. If I recall correctly, Eden Bromfield uses spar varnish. I suppose synthetic JC nails would work, but if you're going to trouble of doing this, use the real thing, The synthetic stuff will look fake. And finally, yes you do cover it all with finish after the CP is completely dry. Contact Neal Cissel and get Putter's DVD on doing feather inlays. It'll help a lot.
