Cool Kangaroo/ Wallaby Skin

Hi to all,
Just wondering if anyone else has used Kangaroo / Wallaby fur or kangaroo / Wallaby zonker strips ?
I found a full pelt not 100% sure of which one, but told it was Kangaroo, when searching through my old bags of tying materials, and used it to great success in all manner of flies.
So I was wondering if anyone would be interested in buying a 4inchx4inch piece to experiment further for £5 free p&p ?
It is of shortish fibres of varying shades of gingery brown, and very soft pliable skin, theres just to much to practically keep so thought to sell some to fund more readily used material or a days fishing !
if there is a lot of interest i will post ways in which to get a piece, bearing in mind its only one skin !

A bad days fishing is better than a good days work !
See you Soon

Normally when a person joins this board the first postings are to be introductory so that other members can get to know you. After you have started to play an active part etc then you may offer items on the classified section. However welcome, and if you have some photo's of both the material and some of the things you have made with it you may get some interest.
