New "Toad Skin" Hoods @ M-J Hoods

[GriffMJ]

Hi All

Here is a new addition to my Exotic skin Range, Toad skin is hard to get hold of and I have only been able to get one skin to test. I am planning to get some more in the very near future.

Any 1 guess the pattern :D

All is easy once the technique is mastered ....toad skin is v thin and needs to be backed.... like most exotic skins. You can get a thick lizard skin that is just right for the old (or New) anglo patterns giving a very light weight but durable hood. I will make a Mavro in Lizard so you can see.
