Quill - online puzzles

A quill pen is a writing implement made from a moulted flight feather (preferably a primary wing - feather ) of a large bird. Quills were used for writing with ink before the invention of the dip pen, the metal -nibbed pen, the fountain pen, and, eventually, the ballpoint pen. The hand -cut goose quill is rarely used as a calligraphy tool, because many papers are now derived from wood pulp and wear down the quill very quickly. However, it is still the tool of choice for a few scribes who noted that quills provide an unmatched sharp stroke as well as greater flexibility than a steel pen.
