At least it started life as an attempt at a Wickham. Again, more an experiment in dyeing, this time looking for shades of ginger; also dyed some bleached pheasant tail, which turned out well, but decided to go with natural on the back end to relieve the monochrome effect I got with first Musty Ruddler. Rob Denson's wet used fox squirrel for the wing but I liked how the marmot tail looked so I subbed.

The deer hair was left in the dye bath for a while and took on a darker, golden shade which I'm not unhappy with.
