Very nice, both versions, but I much prefer the shaggy head.

That’s pretty spectacular Bruce.  I mentioned in the challenge thread there are deer hair masters on this forum.  You are definitely a, if not The, master. The pile of matching ones in the background is most impressive.   
 

Thanks

Bruce. Love the mouse family.. Each one has their own personality.  I have one of Chris Helm's in my collection.   I was looking just yesterday to see if anyone posted any of his videos and disappointed to see just a few ~ 4 minute clips.   Good to see you (and a few others) carrying and refining the deer hair torch.

Thanks for sharing your stuff.
