Buck Tail - the Under Side

I finally gave in to my wife's begging for the smoother white fur from the underside of the deer tail.  This is the side that flashes when they run - you've seen National Geographic, you know what I'm talking about.  Yes, I was sacrificing the precious portion of the tails I needed for fishing flies.... but I was keeping her out of the art supply store brush aisle, after all...

A few different length handles and a fishing line loop on each...

so she could hang them to dry because I wasn't wasting this fine fly making fur to have it wasted!

And when her friends asked for them, they wanted longer handles - these suckers are 15 inches long and use  much more fur than the detail brushes my wife now favors.
