Both have dark centres but greenwells is a light ginger and furnace is a dark red game, greenwells is what you want for the crunchers.
Cheers

I use greenwells glory on th becks around here . Its maybe old fashioned but its still very effective . The lighter ginger true greewells hackles though so seem to be hard to source. If you find a good one value it .... as above posts say the Furnace is much darker . I would say that if you can see the capes before you buy often hackles sold as furnace and greenwells are nothing like they should be,,

I dont know anything about crunchers,,,,
