Default Peacock Eyes

Needed some for stripped quill buzzers, shopped around, normally quality was pish or prices taking the pish, finally went for these:

Incredible quality and service for the price, the dying is second to none and the plain undyed are perfect also.

Highly recommended.

I have no commercial connection to the seller, simply a very satisfied customer.

The Pirate.

Mr Mcilroy strikes again I see!!

I haven't seen any of these peacock quills but I can vouch for Bill's customer care (if that's what you want to call it). Usually delivered within a couple of days at worst and very reasonably priced.

He also dishes out really strong pain killers like sweets at Brenig - but that's another story for another day!!

Bill - I'll be in touch soon for some of these quills and a few other bits and bobs from the "picric range".

I bought all nine colours from Bill, and far from being an expert and never having tied with Peacock eyes before, i was expecting to snap a lot of the feathers when stripping them. I have tried all the colours and none have snapped on me using the eraser method.
Now I don't know if this is a good sign of a good Peacock Feather or not but I am well pleased with them

Cheers Gaz

I got some of those Peacock eyes and I have to agree they are very good.
