I wanted to report on the results I have had with the ceramic LAW
rake a Lowlander gave me years ago. All the talk about
Australian Possum took me beyond an occaisional rake of fur and full
throttle into raking hide of all types. Needless to say, I now have
plentiful amounts of a variety of dubbing. The LAW must be used
firmly-gently as it is very sharp but seldom cuts guard hairs.
My question arises to you who might shed light as to what qualities
each might have? I like the fine beaver, muskrat and spikier
Australian possum for small dries to nymphs. What deer, elk and
carribou underfur is best for is a curiousity yet to
satisfy. Rabbit, mink, fox, nutria, mole, squirrel, chipmunk... the
list is endless, all produce a variety of quality dubbing.
So how about it hair and dubbing experts? Opinions of various
furs, guardhair, underfur and compare them... to synthetics also? I
have taken my many dubbings for granted but noticed certain patterns
were difficult to tie or lacked qualities due to the dubbing I used.
Considering dubbing can run from $1.50 to $4 a pack, I'm going to start
dyeing some fur experiementally.
