Title: bobcat hide/skunk hides
Post by: wildman on January 06, 2011, 01:06:42 pm
I have a scraped,dried,salted bobcat hide this is not the actual pic,but represenative, looking for a basic self bow 40#-50#
I also have a few skunk hides these pics are some I traded last year, may have more as season goes along.Open for ideas on skunks.

Would love a Bobcat hide,... working on a selfbow right now (but for myself!)
Interested in workable staves by chance?  If so, what type of wood?
Just thinking,... throwing ideas around.

Ya want some cheese to go with that whine ?

When I was told that you wanted skunks I thought you knew what you were doing.....

If I had known different at the time, I would have brought them to you.

But, then, I wouldn't have gotten the laugh that I got from this experience !!   ;D ;D ;D
