    Default Tom Jones SBS



    A vintage Aussie pattern; hen rainbows have been known to throw their hotel room keys on stage when seen. A few changes to the original due to materials on hand - possum for black squirrel and rabbit for kangaroo in the wing.


    hook - Mustad 9671 #8
    thread - Danville 6/0 black
    rib - oval tinsel gold
    tag - Uni-Stretch Chinese red
    tail - Australian possum black
    body - medium chenille light olive
    wing(s) - rabbit olive


    Part 1

    mash barb, start thread, tie in rib, wrap to bend




    tie in Uni-Stretch, wrap down bend and back; tie off/trim






    measure (shank length) a clump of possum tail; tie in






    strip end off chenille; tie in






    wrap chenille to 1/2 mark
