I am facinated with this thread! I had no idea that tying with silk required special wax and always wondered how some of those beautiful colors came about. Could we see some photos of some of the flies you folks are whipping up? Also, as traditional fly dressers are you using modern vices and tools? Over the years I've made self-wood bows, arrows and knapped stone arrow points and can appreciate the hard work that goes into creating something as our ancestors did.
