Fellas had a guy ask me about backing a bow with fish skin. I have never done anything but snake skins. He was wanting to leave the scales on and put the finish over them. He is using the skin off a walleye. Will it work or do the scales need to come off? Seems to me the scales should come off. Coach
post this on the bowyers bench and you'll get some help with it.
skin on, check out big eye walleye leathers on the internet.
