Nice work, I still feel sorry for the poor little bunnies though. How are they gonna hop around with no feet? ;D

The more I mess with this material, the more I like it. The under fur isn't that bad to whisp out, and once your past that, it ties in pretty easy and trims up nice.

It also seams to shed water pretty good, although I did use fumed silica on it after it got soaked, but it responded well. I think this spring, some of these flys will make it to my box......
