Thanks for the kind words, guys!

Gutshot - Triggerfish is a salt water bottom fish found all over the East coast.  Tastes like snapper - yummy!

Sweet bow! Be careful, recurves are highly addictive
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

Thanks, guys! 

Beadman - I used one layer of skins, overlapped slightly.  I've only had one Tfish-backed bow break - an ERC that was really pushing the limits.  It broke where two skins met.  I think two layers overlapped to cover the seams would hold just about anything together.  These critters have some really tough skin. I've seen scars on them from Cudas or Sharks that couldn't cut through their hide.

Really nice man. I dig the skins, the overlaps looks like a fancy cowboy shirt or something.

Nice recurve. Those skins are unique and attractive, I like the look of 'em.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.
