Lovely dressings - very tasty!
I especially like the quill body when viewed from underneath in the 2nd photo.

Your flies always do it for me Dave.
I partiularly like the Elk hair one, I could see that doing mischief here on the Eden.

Thanks folks.

Porcupine quills (or correctly, these are guard hairs sent to me under name 'quill') are from the US. They are very tough and are pre-soaked. Nice material.
