Sweet bow .
How did you degrease the flathead skin ? I've got the skins off a flathead and a spoonbill , I know the spoonbill will be worse than the flathead ( the spoonbill has a layer of fat under the skin ).

Can't be any greasier than beaver tail, I used warm water and Dawn dishwashing liquid on the beaver tail and it worked well.

I soaked them in water and dawn for about half an hour then scraped them clean with a butter knife then washed in dawn again and rinsed well. Then i glue em down. A few beads of oil came to the surface every day for about 3 days. I just kept wiping it off with a paper towel. I wiped them down lightly with acetone before applying finish.

That is just flat out COOL Steve!  I've often wondered if catfish skins would keep their color and pattern.  I wonder if channel cat skins would keep the spots?  Looks like I need to go fishin' !  It'll be a lucky dog that gets that bow!  Well done my friend!  Well done indeed !  Josh

Really like that bow in all respects, but its the handle that does it for me.  That handle is downright sexy, flows really nicely.
