Default Chiefs

Hi Guys

I tied up a few Clan Chiefs using red rather than claret, and rook rather than black hen for the head hackle.

First time out took a nice wild brownie on one so they cant be that bad.

But id still like some "input" or constructive criticism..................

Nice ties Englander, they definately have 'the look'. Plenty of life and movement going on too. Nice touch with the rook.
