SanJuanWorm Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Well after a long 2 year hiatus i figured i'd start tying again. Please forgive the sloppiness as i'm rusty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDoctor Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Very nice red crest,you've nailed it perfectly for curve. Compliments also on those nails. Great Job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanJuanWorm Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 Lornce those are boar bristles. Much easier to work with than crest that's for sure. Next one i'll get the head a bit better. I figure these will work excellent on cutty streams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanJuanWorm Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 Here's another. I'm having trouble folding saddle feathers over. I must be daft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDoctor Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Looks like interesting stuff, I've never tried boar before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flytyer Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Here's another. I'm having trouble folding saddle feathers over. I must be daft. There's a couple of ways to get around it; I'm assuming you tried folding them between 2 pieces of foam already. One way is to run your scissors along one side of the stem (never got this to work for me but have seen it done many times by others) or you can strip one side of the feather completely.
