Guest JayVee Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Doc, is that prismatic pliable sheet backing you're using for the shellback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchell0724 Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 I know im not Doc but that shell back is swiss straw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDoctor Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Yep swiss straw, tougher than turkey bun not he nice mottled effect. Doc, is that prismatic pliable sheet backing you're using for the shellback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryH Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Yep swiss straw, tougher than turkey bun not he nice mottled effect. Another good material for the wing case is Wapsi Thin Skin. The colurs I prefer are "mottled oak - golden stone" and "mottle oak - natural" (numbers TSK0121 and TSK0199 respectively.) Very nice ties Mitchell and SD.
