I am going to attempt to put skins on the bow I built at the Tenn Classic. I have a build along to follow but what kind of problems is this knot going to give me? Will it bunch up and have to be cut to make it lay down? Any help Appreciated

Soak you snakeskin in clear water for a good while. Make sure that you leave the scales on the skin when you put it on the bow. They make it a lot easier to handle and smooth the skin onto the bow. If you want you can always take them off later. Use a good water soluable glue. I prefer the Elmers Carpenters glue but others have had excellent results from other glues. If the skin is nice and loose from the soaking, you'll have no problems with that little knot.
