featherer
One adding plumage
A featherer is someone who feathers—that is, who applies feathers to something, as an arrow maker attaching fletching, or who performs a feathering motion, as a rower turning oar blades parallel to the water between strokes.
The word is rare and typically appears in specialized contexts.
