Pepop - Very Nice!!!!!!! I've tied some before but with maribou or craft fur. Might have to try tying some up with cactus chenille in the two colors but twisted together.

Great ties Vern.... You are inspiring me.... I have loads of painted up heads ready to depart for sea and get tied up.... and don't worry about who is driving the boat... I have 4 Mates that take care of that.... Captains do mainly administrative type work now! LOL except when guidance is needed of course!

Check your area for a Medicine Chest Pharmacy/Medical Supply. They're a national chain & they prolly have them in all their stores. That's where I'm getting some for $.25 each.

Just went and looked theres 1!!! in Middlebury, VT which is a 2 1/2 hour drive!! When I pulled them up it showed a bunch that were being taken over by CVS Pharmacy Chain - but Chandler wasn't one of them.

Our Medicine Chest isn't actually in Chandler but in neighboring Tyler. If CVS is about to take it over, I best get 20 or so of those jars.

Along with the copy of Pepops jig I also did some spinners in it. Don't know how many actually go in the wire bending section so thought I'd add it here.
