Porcupine quills have long been used as fishing floats in the UK, not so fashionable now but still available if you hunt around.

I signed two pots with one just this evening. I used to use a needle tool but that always seems to leave a small burr at the edges, the quill leaves a smoother result.

I'd be inclined to let it randomly pop out again, what's the point?

How do you propose preventing it from sticking to your kiln shelf when the paper burns away?
