Thanks in advance for the help, Chris

Wild, wild, summer !

Jaws I made from Saturday's 23lb catch while out on the boat. I boiled it, dry it out and used elmers glue. He was missing some teeth.

Wow looks like they turned out really well! One mistake I made on mine... Make sure you spray it with some kind of clear enamel... The rust oleum clear coat works well!

The jaws I posted up were from a 33#er I shot freediving in 4 ft of water

My son and I just did our first halibut jaw - what a fun little project! Next time, we will clean it better!

What is the purpose of spraying with enamel - what does it do?

Mine yellowed a little! The other jaws I've done and sprayed with the clear coat have done much better. Yours look great!
