Reuven,
Check out this page. Has photos of wood that
you can compare to the wood you have. If you do a lot of this, you can
save the photos to a file, create a collage, and print it out, making
a sample poster for your shop.
About storage of hackles and furs. One thing
moths look for to lay their eggs is a dark place. The caterpillars, which
do the damage (not the moths), will dig deep and eat the parts of whatever they
are on away from the light.
The most beneficial thing I've done over the years
is to make sure all materials are separately bagged. Moths cross-infect,
so stop them before they start cross-contaminating by bagging them.
Especially expensive materials can be double-bagged, then stored in containers
with cedar chips. Moth females look for the best place to lay
their eggs, so if the only smell they get is cedar, they'll look
elsewhere.
