RE: [VFB] Hare's Ear Dubbing Question

[Richard Ross]

Chuck,   The hair on the ears is very short and spikey as Hans has indicated.  There is also not a lot of it and it can be difficult to get off/out of the ear.  I usually mix it with face hair to extend the quantity and make life easy.   Richard   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hans Weilenmann Sent: Thursday, December 22, 2005 2:38 PM To: vfb@troutnet.com Subject: Re: [VFB] Hare's Ear Dubbing Question   Chuck, Hare's Ear means just that, the spiky dubbing taken from the ears. (Some tiers add a small amount of softer, long staple dubbing to 'bind' the mix.) Next is the face, not quite as course. Or the cheeks for still softer dubbing.

Do I just take my whole hare's mask, and cut off both the fine under fur and the coarse guard hairs and just mix them all together in a container to get a "fine/course" dubbing combo???
