So how are the virgin bristles for making picks?

[Clead]

Since I've sent virgin sweeper bristles to at least 15 of you so far, I was wondering how you're all finding them for making picks and wrenches. Posting here and packing bristles has been about all I've done in the last couple months, so I was wondering how everyone is doing with them.
Also, is there anyone who didn't get theirs yet? AFAIK everyone is shipped, but there's a chance I somehow missed someone.
Thanks,
Duncan

Made a wee top tensioner from one of my bristles. Nice and easy to work with, metal didn't split or crack, and it does the trick quite nicely. Gonna make some picks from it soon, been working on lever lock tools recently.
