New Hood

[SakerJack]

The El Diablo Darted Dutch, this one piece blocked hood will be soon available. The hood is sewn, has the fit of a Dutch hood and will be selling for 34.99 US plus shipping. The hood comes with Web lon braces.

View From the front, I have gone with this beak opening as it has as a more universal fit for both hawks and falcons. I think it suits this hood, pattern by Dennis Maynes.

Hi Ken,
Give me a pm when they are in production and I'll try one for the female pere.
I have made some anglo-indian types but she always manages to remove them. The dutch style is a better fit for her. I like the idea of a one-piece dutch style as the ones I have tried to make in the past have failed as I always muck up the stitch alignment. Ive got a better shape with the glued weyburn pattern you sent me but not yet to the standard good enough to use on a bird.

All the best,

Mark.

I like the colour! I will test drive one for you to see how well they fitt ;) :lol:

[SakerJack]

Hey Mark,
Just so happens that hood is for a female per, Tell you what,, I will send that hood to you, PM me your address and I will send it to you.

Neat stitching Ken, I have to hide mine inside.

nice hood ken, would like to see the fit on a bird though, all the best chris.:yawinkle:

[SakerJack]

Chris agreed, I am sending the hood to Longgwing, I just made the pattern and placed it on a block suitable for a larger female peregrine. Now that I have a block fitting I am going to make one for my redtail/Harris hawk, I will then post pictures.
The hood was not made for Longgwings bird but hopefully the size will be right on and Mark can show how it fits on a falcon..I make 4 sizes for female per's

Very nice Ken and as Tim said the stitching is very tidy. How long does this hood take you to make from start to finish.

[Saker-Mad]

nice hood like the green:supz:

[SakerJack]

Thanks Saker-Mad, I hardly ever make green hoods. I like it, Finnish, that is the beauty of this hood start to finish without drying time , about an hour.. It comes together nicely, and is easy to sew. I think it is a good, very affordable field hood for both falcon or hawk..

Ken, very nice:supz:

Good to see more of your quality work again:yawinkle:

[SakerJack]

Thanks Stealth, I was getting frustrated making all the same hood and I needed to take a break and get something different going, I also was able to get a Buteo hood completed for George that was long over due, Thanks for your patients(sp) on this George.
