    Fred, RW here

    I just looked at your profile. Are you just funnin us or did you come back from the grave?
    By the way, how is Aunt Ester?

    Later, RW

    Its free at the zoo. Just hang around after it closes and when you see his eyes close and start snoring, snip off as much as you need.

    I have some Polar bear that I obtained legally and when comparing I have found the best substitute is white skunk fur IMHO. This can be purchased (obviously with the black/dark brown fur as well) very reasonably from Moscow Hide and fur (hideandfur.com). The skunk fur has a very similar sheen and ties up with just about the same profile.

    Thanks again for the info, guys. Appreciate it.

    RW, Ester is down with her rheumatiz...and that Lamont and Bubba are about to drive me crazy. Which is why I took up fly fishing. At least now, I can drink Aunt Ester's rheumatiz medicine in peace!
