Hey Doc one more question on the fake skins do you wrap them with ace bandage or just press them in place and leave open air.

Not too shabby at all, my friend. I have made one mulberry bow and I liked it. Seemed light and zippy.

Sorry I took so long to respond to your question.  I was a little distracted this last  week.  I just lay the cloth down on the glue and work it around with my fingers so the pattern is centered on the bow and the air bubbles are worked out.  It won't try to curl like rawhide or cherrybark so there's no need to wrap it.
Thanks fellas!  I handed this bow off to Otter as soon as I cut his trail and he put it through the paces.  Maybe he'll chime in with his impression of it.  Josh
