You can buy African Porcupine Quills at Fire Mountain Gems. Also a good source of beads:

And nex time I 'run across' an elk or deer, I'll do the same. We get tons of skunk. Want one of them? We get coons, rabbits, squirrels, foxes, coyotes, porkypines, and once in a while moose. I think you better pick up the shipping on deer, elk, and moose, tho. Problem with the rabbits and squirrels, they don't slide off to the side of the road when hit, so the dubbing is pretty well pre-blended, if you catch my drift. LOL They fit well into a plastic baggie, tho. Winterkill critters are OK, because there ain't NO bugs out when it's 20 below zero.

I JUST ran across one a while ago, but My wife had groceries in the car and wouldn't let me stop and get it LOL, But I run across them pretty often here, Chuck ----- Original Message ----- From: DonO To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, February 09, 2007 1:17 PM Subject: Re: [VFB] Re: SLF Dubbing- now possum Reuven, I LOVE that Australian possum hide that you sent Jimi for the swap. It rope-dubbs perfectly, blends great, and stacks like wool. Those who got the possum strips in Jimi's material swap have gotta try it out. I've seen Australian and New Zealand possum dubbings in bags, but it's already clipped and blended, so stacking is out. Also, when it's pre-blended, one cannot choose a particular portion of the hide to harvest hair for a particular look in the dubbing. Now I can't wait for the wombat.
