Cloudfeather....Now I've got a couple pair of the sturgeon skins here.They seem to be kinda thick for skins.In preperation too they seem to have been a little oily when skinned.A good washing in dawns soap probably helps?

Mine were prepped when I got them, but I've been researching how to process them. You flesh, salt/dry, wash the salt off, then soak in dawn dish soap and water overnight, tack and dry.

I got mine from AlmostPigHunter. Very good quality skins. I'm waiting to hear back about a potential source at the moment.

You know, I saw a bow just like this on Facebook the other day!  LOL!
