That's what I was looking for! Those look real good. Who did the work for you?

Thanks Mike. I'm getting some PM's that are suggesting the same thing. But, if I skin these limbs, I can always get a set that's not skinned for back up.
Are the Copperheads just hard to get a hold of?

Once it warms up we'll be crawlin' in " 'heads n 'mouths". (copperheads and cottonmouths/water moccasins) The markings on cottonmouths varies a bit. Some I've seen would make a neat limb skin...it might be hard to get a pair of matching "cool" ones though.
Where do you send skins to have them prepped/tanned or whatever you call it to be put on bows?

Cottonmouth are easy to find good matching patterns. To prep a skin skin the snake wash with water and pin him to a board scale side down let dry. Do not put anything on it just air dry. Remove from board trim curled belly skin and send to Bob. Let him do the magic.

I'd say go with the canebrakes.You'll be waiting a while for copperheads.I wanted them on my Schafer but no one seems to have them.But if that's what you want start a search and don't settle.I think I might go the eastern diamondback route.

I'm liking the Canebrake. KentuckyTJ photo shopped a picture of his Canebrake limb on my pic and it really set off the gray in the riser and side of limbs.
Any other skin types that might look good?

I think the Cane Break looked the best for your bow colors.
