    Default Fly tying tool question

    I collected some beaver chew and driftwood this past season and now I want to play around with some of it. One of the items I want to make are bodkins. Some of the interesting pieces that I have are 6 inches and longer. So, my question is, how long do you guys think is too long for a bodkin to be and still be a practical tool?

    Thanks for any input!

    Ok, I have a few pics. They do not really do the bodkins justice, but here they are. Thanks for all the input.
