Eric that skin was only 12" long. I split it on the lateral line and wrapped sinew at the seam to blend it some.

Hey Drums!  Tell Dave, what a nice bow!  I sure like them carp skins.  Gonna have to get me some.  Maybe I envision a carp shoot in my near future...

Man that's a sweet looking bow. Those scales just bounce off that bow.

That is awesome, I never heard of using carp skin. It really looks nice. How do you prepare the skin before backing?
