Graham 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2007 That is a beautiful one of a kind piece of art! I really like your choice of feathers for the fins, they have great shape and coloring, complements the rest of the body perfectly. I looked at the JC neck's at my fly shop this week, the price has more than doubled when compared to the neck I bought 10 years ago. Anyway, the artistic value of your fly far exceeds the cost of materials. Looks rich and elegant. Cheers, Graham Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex C. 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2007 Graham, Try www.fishermansfeathers.com I ordered a super grade neck from there last year and it was only like $170 which included shipping. I think there was only like 3 nails on the whole cape that were split, and they were barely split. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
