anyone ever tried gar skins?
« on: April 09, 2010, 10:56:08 am »
i have seen some sturgeon skin backed bows on here, does anyone know if gar skin would work? if so how  would you process the stuff? i want to try to at least stick one big enough to make a quiver out of this summer.  ;D

I would think that a gar skin would be too thick and stiff for a bow backing. I've got a couple in the freezer of horrors that I haven't figured out what I'm gonna do with 'wm yet, maybe knife sheaths or something.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.
