2 fine pieces of work, Pat and Pearl. Pat, the back on yours really has some personality. Those tips look really good too. Pearl, can't wait to see the finished product. OK, James, it's 6 am where I am and still no pics?? :laugh:

I waited too long to try hide glue. Performance wise I cant say yet. Application wise hide glue is 10x better than TB ever dreamed off being. I checked it out this morning and its glass smooth and I love the dried color, so much so I may not even cover it up after all. I made double the glue I needed so I guess I will just have to build another sinew backer for me to kill a turkey with this spring.
