This is what I know as the Henshall too.  I hadn't see the Mary Orvis version prior to it coming up in the challenge thread. Both were nice but I think I prefer this style.

@TSMcDougald - looks good.

Have not tied with it yet, but your flies confirm my first impressions. The longer fibers have a bit of sheen and independence to them, the wooly stuff is short and soft, making a nice dubbing. 

I like what you did with that Spruce.
