I get pelts from Tasmania, but never from NZ. They would be basically the same, but you have to try get the winter coats. I know you can get them in the US, but the listings I saw were for 4-6 times the price I pay.
The ur can also be tied in beautifully for floating emergers. R ______________________________________________ Reuven Segal B. Engineering (Aerospace)- Final Year B.

When I was in NZ I found a shop that sold local items. One was things made from the Australian Possum. Some bright person thought they were cute and would do well in NZ. Well, like most foriegn introductions, they have gone nuts there. They are everywhere. Their hides are beautiful and soft. They make hats, coats, etc from them. In the store they had a barrel with scraps which you could buy by the pound. I was able to get several colors at a pretty good price.

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. Don
