Stringman:
None of these pics really show it, but this stave has a natural deflex to the handle and now the limbs are reflexed equally.





Gonna be a light draw bow unless I pike it a bit. Still considering flipping the tips before going further. Either way this bow is gonna get skinned, no question.

Stoker:
Keenan- Didn't save the skins. Fish were a tad bit frozen when i filleted them and butchered the skins. They're are more of them I'll be better prepared. They would be great on a bow or knife sheath.
Stringman- That's gonna be nice.
Caneroo- Nice knife and sheath
Thanks Leroy

Keenan:
 When you go to dry the skins Leroy give a shout if you have any questions. If they are very thin skins you can use cardboard but if they are like sturgeon its best to staple down to a piece of plywood. I used my air stapler, works great

PEARL DRUMS:
I was told pike skins loose all their color when the scales come off. My nephew tried some on an elm bow we built for him. He ended up peeling them off.

Stoker:
Hopefully next weekend sitting on the ice again. Ifin the fish cooperate. If I run into any problems I'll be sure to pm you Keenan. Thanks for the offer.
PD- That's interesting to know. I'll have to do a test run on leather and wood what could go wrong  ::) Outta curiousity what kind of glue did you use?
Thanks Leroy
