Made some pan brushes tonight.

Not a terribly difficult project but years of fly tying and the tools that go along with it made dealing with the slick groundhog tail hair easier to manage. Enjoy!

Cool. I use a couple drops of fiberglass resin for glue. What do you use?

Super glue on this project, I also like something more elastic like E6000 but just didn't have any at the moment.

Nice work! Did you tie off that red silk with a couple whip finish knots and dab on a bit of dope with your bodkin?

You know it, I had to break out the long whip finish tool to clear all that hair haha!
