I can't wait to see the end product. I have some burlap I am going to use as soon as I have time.
 
That burlap is going to be sweeet! How long did it have to set in the press? Seems like it would be quicker setting than denim. Also, High 5 to a fellow Lower Alabama guy. Where abouts are you?

the blood will stain it, and if you clean fish or guts, it will begin to smell. i would advise G10 or leaving the zytel.
