Hello Liz,
The highlights you are requesting can be accessed through articles the
panelists wrote. Check your local library or perhaps request a copy of
directly to the magazine.
Jack Troy demonstrated how to make your own brushes with deer tails using
the gun shells as a handle, the whole thing put together with epoxy
glue. He has an article on this very topic out of CM Jan '73. He
mentioned that the big thing about deer fur is that the hair is hollow. I
wonder if there is any other hair like that, deers don't fare very well in
Chicagoland. Any hunters among us?
David Hendley showed how to cut out your own (extruder) dies out of road
signs gathered at the local junk yard with a jeweler's saw. He also as an
article on how to make your own dies and extruder in PMI Winter '99.
Vince Pitelka had this incredible handout, 1000 copies, which ran out in
the blink of an eye! I wouldn't know where to begin, it was a total
(happy) overload for me. I don't believe that's available anywhere
(yet?). I hear there may be a book coming out.
Hope this helps,
Faye

I would like to second Liz's request. Although I was not able to go to
NCECA, I would love to hear about the workshop.
Thanks in advance to any kind soul, who is willing to tell us something
about it.

Faye,
Try Moscow Hide and Fur, I think somewhere in Montana or Idaho. They have
deer tails among other animal furs that can be used in brushes (moose,
muskrat, horse,etc.). I brought a goat coat over the web a year ago and it
makes wonderful brushes. I also use deer and wolf hair. No, these were not
shed, rather either raised domestically for the purpose or obtained as part
of a controlled conservation program. There are several suppliers for bamboo
(search the Web using keyword BAMBOO) if you don,t have a supply of shotgun
shells. Bamboo also makes a much more attractive brush. You can obtain
simulated sinue from several suppliers so you don,t have to use dental floss.
Orvis, a fishing/fly-tying supplier, should have much of what you need. Epoxy
is widely available. I prefer quick setting (5 minutes) as I am impatient. If
you have any trouble finding any supplies search the Web or drop me an E-mail.
Hope this helps,

The best place to buy deer hair is at your local fishing flyshop. They
carry an area of hair; bucktail, deer,etc. They will be able to tell you
what hair is hollow. As an avid fly fisherman too, I have been making my
own brushes for years to use in my studio. Beware, since it is hollow
shank, be carefull when wrapping it on as the hair likes to break. Local
gray squirrel tail works good. You may never look at "road kill" the same
again. I have been know to "de-tail" a few. Chris

David Hendley demonstrated making extruder dies at the NCECA Tool Doctor
workshop. The winter issue of Pottery Making Illustrated has an article by
him on the same subject which explains in writing, with photos, what he
demonstrated.

You can get the faux sinue from www.tandyleather.com.
They have no more retail outlets. Only do business on line. I just ordered 2
rolls of natural color faux sinue.....12.99 each for 300 yards..........free
shipping on $25 orders until 4/30. This stuff also makes great dream catchers.
