I think it is two horse hairs, one dark brown and one off white.

Hair is correct. Horse is not. Plus, is a single hair.

Keep going...

[Hans Weilenmann]

In varnished state



I think looks pretty interesting effect - and will explore possibilities further

Unvarnished it has the sheen of horse hair or boar hair, which is paint bristle like- not a soft fur like hair that you might find on say fox, squirrel or badger or the like. I feel it is from one of the bigger animals.
If not Pork based...... nor bus driver ear hair..... many animal whiskers show the same kind of traits as the fibre you have used.

Seal whisker?

[Hans Weilenmann]

Body hair
Large animal

[Hans Weilenmann]

Single strand as rib. Single strand of hair, but see how it shows. Interesting, no?

[Mataura mayfly]

Giraffe?

Do you have friends in Australia...... Camel?

[Hans Weilenmann]

Giraffe?

Do you have friends in Australia...... Camel?

Nope. Think north, my friend. Quite north.

[Mataura mayfly]

So a European beastie?
Well heck, everyone has Moose.... so I will count that one out.
Reindeer? or Caribou to our North American friends?

[Smuggler]

Musk Ox.
