St Lucia Goat hair
Not a lot of tying material here except what I shipped down in a barrel. Someone killed a goat this week to eat and I got the skin. Fleshed it and salted. Going to egg tan it in a few days. Cut a few pieces of the hair to try. Plan on dying some after its tanned. Think it looks a lot like Polar Bear. Softer than bucktail and close to Kiptail and Calf belly, Think I'm going like it a lot. Here is the first jig. What do you think?
I dont know how to flip the picture. sorry

Looks good to me. Nice tie. If you like hair jigs as I do then this will be much cheaper than the shipping. Show us more please once you get some dyed.

Nice. What area of the hide are those hairs from?
Did you wash or rinse the hair before use?
I know a fellow that will let me curry comb his goat.

Okay, just reread that last post. It sounded strange to me, too.
He assures me that there's no goat roping involved in this process.

Go to a thrift store and look for a hair straightener. They look like curling irons except the ends are flat. Most will have a few. Works great for taking the curl out of calf tails and usually really cheap used.Originally Posted by Takeum

Thanks. These goats are a bit different here on the island. Hair is a bit short...even on the very top of the back its only about 2" because its hot here all year around. And they eat jungle weeds because there isnt much grass. Think that what makes the hair a bit stiffer than other goat hair I have seen. I took the skin and fleshed it. Washed real good and the salted it down for 2 days. Today I washed it again and then started tanning it with eggs. Should be ready to be stretched tomorrow. Watched a bunch on YouTube. So far it looks to be working. Going to tie a few hundred before I come back in the spring.
