I was fooling around with blending some seal furs with some softer furs to make it more workable. I have a long way to go.

Thanks, Gig. I have a number of new seal and other fur blends to try. I need to spend some time fooling around to get a better handle on handling seal.

Dub-ya, Howdy;

Looks like you got the seal and other 'stuff' to do what ya wanted
them to do.. Maybe the path is shorter then ya think it is...

Nice job. Love those 'Ahab' type barbs.....

Thanks again, guys. The barbs are a problem because of the hump they create when you crimp them down. It's not a big issue and I'm not worried enough to start filing barbs, but the look wicked the way they are and add something to the fly pic I think.

More seal to come.
