Anybody know where I could purchase some sealskin for rest material????????

Good luck, them suckers are protected like the spotted owl!  Maybe ODFW has some they shot a few on the Columbia River this year.

I have heard some guys finding some old sealskin purse on **** and cut them up to make their own sealskin rests,just a thought.

Just what I was going to post. I know a guy who did that.

A member from Omaha, NE posted on here about a year ago on the forum that he had some. Like an idiot, I didn't order any or save the info.
Now I can't find anything on it.

PM your address to me.  I will mail you a piece from Alaska Bowhunter Supply that will probably give you a couple of rests or a rest and strike plate.  They only came about 2" x 3" when new and I took a rest and plate out of it.

This may be a business opportunity for me. We're killing seals here on the East Coast, but I don't know anything past that. Are there only certain parts of the hide suitable for rests, such as underbelly makes the best or whatever?
I have a sealskin rest that I need to replace as well. Would this be something that most archers would want?

-contact Bob Morrison...he was selling squares of seal skin at K'zoo this year.

I just bought 24 square inches of it on the auction site for $13 delivered.

That's it David-rub it in,LOL.

A piece of it will find it's way to the St Jude's Auction once I have it in hand.    

Go to E Harmony and look for an Alaskan native girl,get in good and then ask for some.Thats about the best shot you have.
