Pulled out my bags of Hairline assorted pieces and started cutting cross-cuts today. Took two old c-clamps and my clear board put the edge of the hide piece under it and clamped it down. Stretched and cut up towards the table, any little hard spots pressed a bit harder.

Wow that's a lot of work... Nice work now let's see some jigs lol
Definitely like the blue looks like you're in bunny heaven.
Good job on the strips! That assorted deal Hareline has is pretty good! Love the looks you get with the rabbit too!
For the cost of the packs $5 - you can get a lot of strips, and it still looks like I haven't used very much out of them. I square them as much as I can then slice them up. If I want some straight ones I'll cut those as I need them, don't use very many of those.
Excellent idea and work. I'll be looking for your tie's with these also.
Looking good Doug!!
Where did you find these? Do you have a link to them? Maybe I am missing it but on their website it says contact your dealer...
Thanks
You can get that from Bob Marriott's or maybe some other fly tying shops I think. Bob's has them for only $3.25 per pack!

I got mine at Cabelas only cause I was in Michigan for my grand daughters birthday and always stop in when there. Might have to contact Bob Marriotts and see if they can pull a couple of bags with a lot of the solid colors - only have one bag that has a piece of black and brown, which is one reason I like to look at them before buying.
No matter the price they are a great bargain!! if I had to pay for separate bags totaling what I cut up I'd be out way more than the cost of the bags.
Here's the link from the Cabela's site http://www.cabelas.com/product/Rabbi...&WTz_l=Unknown
Yes even at Cabela's price it's a good deal! I find Cabela's tying materials a bit high when compared to say CA to Bob's or JS or some others. Think last time I looked Bass Pro was also a bit on the high side too!
gonna have to keep a better eye on the Bob Marriott site they actually have some good prices on certain things.
