Nick, That is a patch of Russian Seal from Dot's fur coat that I hated. She had that coat before I even knew her. Finally one day she said to "dump" it. I cut it up and gave a lot of it away. Some of the old timers before this list have chunks of it when I gave away bags of fur to whoever wanted it. Glad to see it being used. Tony

I had no idea what it was. I sat in front of the TV and saw him fiddling with a black hair patch, saying "I believe this is Russian Sable... long dense underfur and very few guard hairs"... and then saw the bunch of hairs after he had cut it... I felt that chill again. "THAT'S THE 'JOHN DOE' PATCH THAT'S LYING BY MY VISE!!!" So, thank's DonO. The DVD made my day... twice!! /Nick -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com [mailto:vfb-m...@googlegroups.com] För chuckalexan...@hughes.net Skickat: den 16 december 2009 01:21 Till: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Ämne: Re: [VFB] Rope-Dub result...

A quick search in the 'IMDB' (not the "Internet Movie Data Base"... but in the "Infamous Material Data Base") shows that it is a dubbing from Wapsi called 'Natural Nymph Blend' (80% squirrel - 20% rabbit). It was bought in a sport shop in Gävle in Sweden. I can't find the dubbing in Wapsi's product catalogue though. But I found it here: http://shopflyfishingspecialties.com/wapsi-squirrel-dubbing-pr-16669.html /Nick -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com [mailto:vfb-m...@googlegroups.com] För chuckalexan...@hughes.net Skickat: den 15 december 2009 23:22 Till: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Ämne: Re: [VFB] Rope-Dub result... Nick: That is an awesome looking fly. It looks JUST LIKE a certain insect that I'm trying to place but can't right now. A hellmagranite??? Or a certain type stonefly?? I can't find the book I found it in right now, but it looks IDENTICAL to that particular insect. Where do you get that squirrel dubbing??? Can you make it yourself??

I got the DVD yesterday. It was a big "Aha!!!" I have had the technique explained to me in text format once, but it seems that I had misunderstood some. That's why I have only used it with a limited number of materials. But now the pieces fell into place... and I understood what he had meant with the words 'easy' and 'simple'..... and 'using any form of'. I have a squirrel dubbing that has seemed like it was made for the purpose of giving me headache. Short, stiff and sticky... and the noodles have been breaking into fragments and fallen of the thread. If someone, yesterday, had told me that it was possible to make a rock hard and segmented body out of that one, I would have answered: "Of course... laminate sand and you can make a rock hard and segmented body out of that too." Watched the DVD around 3 o'clock this morning (didn't yawn once). Today I dug out that squirrel, just to give it a try (for the sake of it). First try attached... GO DON!!!!! WHEN'S THE NEXT ONE COMING???? /Nick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
