A few questions from a newbie with hair and fur please...
I have read the website at [url=http://globalflyfisher.com/staff/helm/selecting/:cbf5e]http://globalflyfisher.com/staff/helm/selecting/[/url:cbf5e]

1) When talking about the underfur, I assume that is the fluff that lies between the hairs on a skin. Is this what is used for dubbing?? And assuming it is how do you get it out??

2) I have had some hide pieces sent by a wellwisher in the states. On some pieces some hair has been taken from the hide. It looks like its been almost shaved off very close to the skin. How does he do that?? I have already ruined two pair of expensive scissors!

3) I have a piece of Caribou which has very short fine hair. This is difficult to get off in bunches long enough to tie in. If tying on very small dry flies how do I cut and hold a bunch to tie it in as a wing?
