"Keiger" Dutch Hood

[sakerjack]

That purple/yellow/orange is absolutely stunning. I love it, man!

Thank you, the photo does not really show how bright the colors are. I am using some new dye combos and the color are so vibrant. The hood is for my falcon.

[sakerjack]

Wonderful. I love the brown and black hood...and the blue and tan...and the purple/orange. What size is the brown/black? Edit, what size is the Blue/tan too?

Thank you, the bk/brown is a large falcon size and the blue/ tan is for a gyr/barbary male it is going to France.

Very nice, Ken. Someone in France is going to be very happy.

Katy I think he will like the hood, fingers crossed, he has a great little hybrid. Christopher here are some better photos of the hood. I made three of them almost identical, in three different sizes but with almost the same design and the same color scheme.

Those colors sure do sparkle in the sun. What was your inspiration?


What brand of dye do you recommend? Im using Tandy's Eco-flo. Its not doing it for me.

AND you too, how did the class go my friend? I'll tell you what,, I remember lying in the hospital bed with tubes out my chest, two giant, pretty much open incisions and feeling like my world had collapsed when a volunteer came in to talk to me. At the time the last thing I wanted to hear but she went on and said that in a few months you will feel so much better than before your surgery,,Well Rich she was right on the money, I feel better than I did 5 years ago, I have yet to regain my strength and I am still weak after a few hours of work but I have no pain or shortness of breath issues and I cannot wait till summer to ride a bike and enjoy long summer nite walks with my wife and dogs.
AND I am back making hoods, got 7 on the go now and I really am enjoying the time back at the work bench..
More to come..

Hi Ken,

I had a lovely surprise when I arrived at the hotel in France to meet with Jean-claude.
Who should be there, but Xavier and Patrick, Claude, Bruno, and the mystery hood man himself, Richard!!!
We had a wonderful couple of days together, spoke often of yourself and Ambroise, and enjoyed it all as we should.
I've seen a couple of the photographs Richard will be sending to you, and I'd like to apologise in advance!!!

Best wishes,

Tony.

Hello Tony, LOL, I heard you two were going to meet up. Look forward to the photos. Here are two more Keiger hoodes heading off Texas way and here is one of the hoods I made for my falcon.

[sakerjack]

Hey Tony, I received the photos. You always seem to be having a great time. Funny in almost very photo I have seen of you Tony, you either have a bird on the glove OR a drink in the hand.

Oh, we have a good time alright.

The funny thing is, they must be a bad influence on me, as normally I'm a good boy

Best wishes,
