Felder if you have to go to another farm and ask someone to give you some Boar hair I fear the lack of shrimp will be the least of your worries ;D do you have a reputation were you live?.

I would happily post some Kune Kune boar hair to you - just pm me your address (it's ginger though  ;):thumbsup:
As a wee aside, traditionally wild boar bristles were (and possibly still are) used for making the best hair brushes money could buy - now there's a thought  ;)
