Pig Bristle

[Guest arogueant]

Hi there.

Would any of you hunters be prepared to save some hair or bristle from your next kill and send it to me here in Sydney?

I'm looking for a source of supply of hog or pig bristle to make artist's oil painting brushes. Good quality cheap brushes are available imported from China, but I'm experimenting with innovative techniques for my own use and although you can source bristle from China, the minimum order size is 1000kg! I don't want that much-a kilo or so would do me. Obviously I'd pay for the postage plus.

What do you usually do with the hides?

My address is 31 Alleyne Avenue North Narrabeen 2101

Yeah that is possible. Although I won't be going out for a while as my car is giving me troubles. I think the majority of pigs killed in Australia end up as dog food and trophies, and those who are able to take them to chillers and get paid a small amount.

If you don't get any soon, send me a PM and i'd be happy to help you out.
