    Quite a score. I really like that cobalt blue. Lot of work ahead.

    Since I made the cutters they don't take long at all.

    They should make some nice jigs. I don't make many bunny's because of the price of them but they make a great jig.

    She's going to be listing a bunch of skins on her page and she's going to let me know and I'll post it here when she does.

    lowell - it really isn't all that bad. When Hairline squares their rabbit hides to cut their zonkers someone there decided it would be a good idea to package up a bunch of the scrap pieces and sell them. I LOVE THEM!!! Search around for the best price - I get them at Cabelas every year when I go to Michigan for my grand daughters birthday, will still get them with the two toned pieces. Small pieces that can't get a strip from I shave the hair off and save it for dubbing when I tie flies.


    This is one bag


    Between pulling colors pieces to cut I got all these and it doesn't look like I even touched the bags, I don't know about anyone else but even at $4.99 a bag ($15 total) if I can cut 12 colors and still have a lot left that's a GREAT deal and it will tie a bunch of jigs!!!



    Lot's of places are making bags like this!! I have some assortment bags of dyed arctic fox I got before I bought the arctic fox skins from the lady on ebay.

    Trust me - I'm CHEAP and I always look for deals!!!

    Hey you can get the Rabbit pieces anytime and really would have a hard time believing Cabela's is less costly. Anyway I see Bob Marriott's has the packs and here is the link if anyone want.

    Thanks Skip!! The only reason I pay a bit more for them is I actually go to the store when I'm in Michigan for my grand daughters birthday. The wife and I take her there and we check out the fish tanks and I have her tell me what kind of fish they are and then we check out the stuffed animals. Then she hangs out with Gramdma and I get to go shopping, I check out the bags for 2 toned pieces check out sales, plus NO SHIPPING COST!!!
