Clean osage stave for sturgeon skin...

<< < (2/2)

Tracker0721:
Same as snake skin right? Not to hijack this, but just skin, tack to a board, leave out of the sun with some good air flow for a couple weeks.

Fred Arnold:
And if you have an extra skin I'd offer the same. Not trying to hijack your thread Cloudfeather. I'm close to osage country and miles and miles from sturgeon water. About the only thing I'm liable to catch is carp, catfish, bullheads, or a cold.

wizardgoat:
Fish skins really need to be scraped well, especially the thicker ones like sturgeon. And especially for sturgeon the skins need to be tacked up so the pattern runs straight, and use lots of tacks. A good tack job is the difference between backing 1 or 2 bows, to 3 and maybe even 4 on a big pair.
