You should all have the name of your victim!  If you don't, and I was interrupted a few times while sending all the PMs, you better let me know and I'll re-send it.

I'M SO EXCITED!!!!

Questions
1. Where can I find glue for a sinew backing
2. What kind is the best
3. I pressure washed the back to remove the bark and what not should I rough it up with some sandpaper or leave it slick

Oh, one more thing, its always a good idea to check the sign-up thread and make sure I sent you the right specs - you all got the right name but following a string of 18 names and specifications can be really confusing  ;)

Isinglass, or gelatin from the food aisle in the local supermarket makes a good glue.  Boiling down hooves and hide for a hide-glue is really good too.  A super smooth surface is a bad idea, you will need to scuff it up to give the glue something to bite into
