I agree with Eric on leaving out the superglue. I tried it and it left a white haze over the skins.

Great how to!

I have one bow without tip overlays I was thinking about skinning. Do you: stop the skin short of where the string lays, skin it right to the tip, or put on tip overlays first?

Thom, you can do it however you like. Here is a pic where the skin is taken all the way to the end, no overlays on hackberry bow:

Slick! Thanks for replying and posting that pic! All things being equal, this would be the best one for me with this particular bow.
