Tim said he has to thin it with a belt sander.  :o   Once thinned you apply it just like snake skins.
Thanks George and gmc.

What I got to understand is, how in the world do you keep the mop from getting caught up with the string? ;D

Pat
That came out Great.  I really love the carp skins.  Not to mention the name and the cool "reversible" action.  You are back in the saddle in a big way with that one. ;)

Yeah Russ, I just couldn't make the leather fit right. Not the leather's fault!  ::)  I did use it for the floppy rests though so the medicine is still there! 8)

  I packed Flip Flop up last week and mailed her on Saturday. :'(   Well, she arrived at her new home today, safe and sound.  ;D  Joe Weed ("Osagetree") of Ohio was the recipient. 8)   When I found out that Joe was picked I was intimidated! I've never seen Joe's work in person but a few times on TradGang and now I knew I had to come up with something special. It had also been over a year since I'd built a bow. That's why I decided to pick a difficult stave  ??? and MAKE it happen! I think I did!  Here is Joe and Flip Flop at full draw...
