I bought a wooden chest-of-drawers that has about 10 shallow drawers 2" deep x 18" x 20" from a 2nd-hand store ($20). The top 5 drawers are dubbing drawers, separated into synthetic dubbings, natural furs, ice-dub, long-fibered dubbings (like awesome-hair +), and custom/trial mixes (2 drawers).
Each drawer has dubbing organizers set up for the kinds of dubbing they are. Some work better in dubbing dispensers, some in bags, some in bag-socks, some in film cannisters, etc. I have other boxes and bags of bulk dubbings, and lots of stuff that can be used for dubbing ropes, so the list is about endless. When I use them, part of it goes in the drawer to remind me of that dubbing rope, with samples. The lower drawers are for tying kits (specific flies- like shrimp, mice) and extra tools.

I also make some of my "special" ones. I couldn't part with a one..might need it sometime. I'm a dubbing hoarder. One can never have too many dubbings.. remember, it is my sister who thinks I have to many. She also thinks I have too many saddles and necks ( a dresser full). I love tying and love the sheer joy of the artistic creation of flies.

Just a suggestion...

I would be interested in several pieces of dyed fur, but not a $100 worth..... Larry Johnson Springville, Utah "Don Ordes" <[email protected]> 9/17/2010 10:30 AM >>> Who feels like pooling resources to get good buys on pelts at Moscow H&F to divide up amongst swappers? Like the CO-OP swap, the meister buys the pelt, photos it, and cuts it up to divide amongst the swappers, who send in their share + S&H. Buys range from dirt-cheap to taxidermy quality, many animals listed (dubbing quality critters), and 3 pieces would be enough dubbing to last a very long time. The numbers can be set by the meister and swappers. (If you want half a pelt, find one more swapper.) But a simple swap could go like this: (Just a suggestion of an easy typical swap) So you'd get a chunk of tail, some dense back, & off-color thinner belly. #1 & 2 swappers would want the mask for bushy flies. There are hundreds of selections, so there could be many swaps. Just a thought- one ore way to use the VFB for buying power.
