Groovy Bunny Strips & Crosscut

LOL Is that why your place looks more like a store than a tying room?

Well it started out just being a tying room, but then I started selling chenille, Hackle, Marabou and some other things like blades. However it looked like this just because I bought too much stuff. My real trouble is I am going to need to offer things like Capes and Saddles on a fly tying site and I use that site a lot, but I have not posted in several years.

My wife just tries her best to ignore it, but then every once in a while she threatens to take vacation at work for two weeks so she can clean and rearrange it, lol!

LOL... If she's anything like mine, it'll look clean and neat. But it'll take me days to find the thread or feather I'm looking for!

Have you got a little extra Groovy Rabbit? I would like to try and make some jigs.

Also how do you tie it to the hook? Cut it off the back and tie it on? Wrap it around the hook like chenille? I've never used a rabbit strip...is it also called a Zonker? I've only used feathers and a little fur off a squirrel tail. Time for me to expand my horrizons...lol.

My wife is a re-arranger. I work out of boxes.

I been in there Skip. Martha would have to retire to straighten it out, 2 weeks is not enough time. Bet you would find a lot of things you forgot about. hahaha

I have some pictures that use to be in a slid show, but that ended with that photo storage company. I will post them on here a little later in order.

However I can tell you this, I tie the hide on to the back of the hook and really make some wraps, then a 3 or 4 turn whip finish on the back of the hook shank, then wrap thread to the head. Then I do put a drop of super glue right on that whip finish and area of the wraps and then start to wrap the rabbit strip to the head and trap and make your neck and whip finish.

Let me send you a PM on the strips.
