Lettering Quills
For years I have enjoyed using Liquitex brand grey squirrel quills. I used to buy them from Rick. Unfortunately, they quit making them. It's almost time to buy some new ones. I was wondering what brands of quills other people like to use and which suppliers they buy them from. Thanks.

Larry me old fruit cake.
Try the quills from Handover Brushes London. Rick started to sell them after inviting the owner Mike Venus over in 97.
Gregg Hegar swears by them,. They have a nice fluid feel to them and leave a crisp sharp corner to your letters. I've used them for my work for the last 24 years.
Lovely brushes.........

got me some Handovers and some Wrights of Lymm.
sure wish that English soldier would be a bit more specific as to which series he prefers.
I know we're not asking for a Christmas pudding recipe, just a number.

Dave,
I see ducks and geese and what not listed there under 2116 red sables. No pics or sizes listed. Do I need to
give them a call for translation or could you fill me in as to what the names are equivelant to.
I also see some long hair squirrel quills that look like they would come in very handy. Have you tried them out?
Thanks.
