John,

I got confused last year at the PTN auction and bought a supply of goat 
hair. Honestly I did not even remember bidding on it. Would this work? I 
will mail nicely bundled goat hair samples to whomever sends address. I 
had also here a sample of plaster installed over what appeared to be 
1/4" diameter bamboo lath. Not sure if the wife and son prevailed to 
defenestrate that artifact or not.
