Dr. Demento says thanks. It's hard to come up with ideas that haven't been done, since there are scads of cartoonists out there. And it's impossible to do a search on cartoons themes. So Dr. D never really knows if his ideas are original, and he and Buggs just go to work (Buggs is the

HI Joyce: Thanks for the info and link. I thought the marketing was interesting - the name Euro-hackles. If I walked into a fly shop that sells whiting products and asked to see their Euro-hackles, they wouldn't have the foggiest idea of what I was talking about. In fact, I might get some

I recently bought an 1/2 Euro-Saddle in grizzly. The feathers are on the other side of a midge saddle, size 12 and larger, a bit web on them. I like them for parachutes, and larger dries for sure. Look a bit like the flatwing saddles, we shared years ago Rene On 12/21/2010 05:41 PM, Neville

Byard used to meister them and do the plucking repackaging. If someone had the time and inclination, and was a long-standing member of the VFB in good standing and accessible by other VFB-ers, I could get them set up with Dr. Tom to get wholesale pricing on 'co-op' saddles. This time he will

I think that it would have to be someone who is resident in the USA that meisters the swap or there could be customs or tax problems. Generally I don't have to pay when bringing across the border for personal use, but large quantities may be a different matter. Neville (Nev) Gosling

Actually, Byard provided the bags and card stock along with shipping them out. We plucked and sorted them, sent them back and he sent the results out to the rest of the participants. Sitting at the kitchen table plucking and sorting two saddles into 12 piles each is not something you easily

I don't know what Dr. Tom would charge. I'd get my Pro-Staff discount on top of the wholesale price, but I'd have to know what saddles were ordered and how many for a multi-saddle discount. First thing we'd need is a qualified meister. If the meister didn't want to pluck for the skins ansd
