If you give the pike skins a skim coat of CA glue like Gordon does on his snakeskin backings, maybe the scales would stay intact?

That's a mean looking forge Leroy, can't wait to see what comes out of it!

Mmmm, love catching and eating pike....Y bones and all!  Pike=snot rockets, water wolves, freshwater barracuda, slough sharks.
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

Worth a try Cam?

 Leroy TBIII was used to hold the pike skins down. I was dissapointed when I seen it. I wanted a pike skinned bow badly! You know how us northern guys are about our northerns!

Cam, going brain dead CA glue? :-[
Want to hookup the forge to natural gas in the shop. Some tweeking should be ready to roll hopefully in a couple weeks.
Steve, Ifin you get up here sometime we'll drag the shanty out.
JW, It was beer battered and deep fried with homecut fries Mmmmmmmmmm
No bones. Ms Kerrie doesn't like bones in fish as I'm told.
Pearl Drums, I was thinking TBIII but it does dry a darker colour maybe it washes the colour out. I was going to scale the fish first according to grass carp skinalong. Any advice is always welcome. Never used fish or snake skin only rawhide. Yes we do like our northerns.
Thanks leroy

Stoker, CA glueis super glue!  ;)
  TBIII works well for fish skins but so does TB, TBII and any of the water based carpenters glues as well as hide glue or fish glue.

I woke up early and couldn't go back to sleep, only to realize that our 3 dogs were all sick and had pooped, pee'd, and vomited everywhere in the night (I'm not sure whats going on with them). Drove to work in bad rain, tried to by a breakfast burrito only to have my card declined, so no breakfast. Then as i have one leg in my scrubs trying to change for work (i do lab work) i get a call from my bank telling me that someone spent over $900 at walmart using my check card and that my card has been deactivated. they should cover all the fraudulent charges and refund my money but for now with my only card deactivated and no cash ...... :(

On top of that I got called into the vp office to tell me that they are putting me on a regulations committee, which means more work but no more money, like a promotion without a raise, i just hope they remember the stuff i do for them when it comes time for my review next month.

lastly i am having dinner with mother tonight, hopefully that will be fun

Its been a long day for me ...
