Great site - but speaking of Gary Borger does anyone have a link or a copy of his 9-10 page feather guide???
Started out with the kool-aid, easter egg dye, then RIT and tried the Veniards but got tired of every time I went to order from a shop in NH they were out of the color I wanted - they only order...
Haven't been able to hunt the last few years and a bunch of folks send me the feathers as they don't want them to go to waste. Got the first batch this year. Lemon barred, barred wood duck and...
The guy never did bring any more chinchilla pelts.
Overton's Wonder Wax is available again. The guys selling it apparently bought the rights to manufacture and sell it from Glen Overton. But a little pricey
...
I hate to laugh!! but been there done that!! Before my lab was put to sleep she chewed up 2 prime pheasant skins and a saddle hackle - my fault totally. Ah the memories!!!
I cut my own so it's easy to have both. I also tie jigs so I use the cross-cut as much as regular zonkers.

Hoping the guy shows up again this weekend - asked him if would be bringing anymore, I hope so. If I can pick up a few more I'll take you up on that. I'll let you know!
Hit the flea market yesterday and a guy who's been coming with tanned furs had one chinchilla left so I picked it up.

Thanks - I like the one by ducksterman too but using just those limits you to the thickness of the washers. If you need other sizes that are smaller you have to make a different style.
One that...
Sure will, she's also got 5 or 6 bins left to go through yet.
When I made the smaller ones I got some mini box cutting blades at Home Depot and that's the case the blades came out of. You have to pull the pegs out that hold the blades in when you buy em, and...
After lastchane's post on zonker strip cutters thought I'd post this up.
Found a lady on ebay who makes Teddy Bears and she's switching over to fake fur and is selling off all her real fur. ...
Here's what I made mine with - the blades are carpet cutting blades - I did add another mid size washer on the front on each side....
It's my one nemisis in tying - I've even taken a class on it and still can't get it.
Haven't been around a lot but Happy Belated birthday!!!
Word was just released today that it was repealed. Straight from the Fish and Wildlife folks

Some days at the flea market you don't find anything - well TODAY wasn't that day!! I picked up a St. Croix 8'6" Imperial Fly rod and it hardly looks used. ...
Sent you a pm. How many of each size hook do you have?? and how much??
The Darice craft hair is good stuff although short.
I use a lot of the Hairline craft fur

X2 on eyelash yarn
nice looking pattern
Have both but it's an 80/20 split as they seem to like the elk more.
Very sorry to hear! Was always helping folks out. Condolences to his family
X3 can't be done. When I went to order Veniards most of the places in the US only ordered it twice a year, so anyone who carries it in the US call and make sure they have the color. The Fly Dye...
