I was given some bear fur by a mate. It is the first time that I have experimented with it and must confess that I am really pleased with it as it has superb mobility characteristics and is an absolure doddle to tie with as it goes just where you put it and doesn't have a mind of its own. If only I could train the wife in this fashion I would be quids in all round :-*
