Everybody that has responded so far has been written down.......... Looks like I will be fishing alot!!!!! The main species of carp will be the common carp, the same type that Keenan used on his BOM carp/sinew backed juniper. When I get a good supply of them, I will contact each person on the list in order and post pics of what's available. Last year I had cut the skins into 2 inch wide strips, however this year I will be prepping the skins to be traded and leaving them whole so that the recipient can cut them however they would like. I thought that doing it this way would give you guys more options as to how to use them, not just for decorative bow backing, but the whole skins would also make a neat decorative touch to the outside of a knife sheath or other primitive type art or projects.
