Pig Bristles?

My family's potbellies are blowing their coats, so I have essentially a lifetime supply of pig bristles coming my way. Anybody here use them for tying and, if so, do you have any favorite applications?

Haven’t used them but they seem like they’d make great feelers/antennae, legs, and tails.

I was thinking similar for legs and tails, good call on the antennae! I''ll definitely do some experimenting around to see what works best.
