Thanks everyone, this was my first attempt at snake skins,but my bud linc gave me detailed instructions on how to get it done(thanks linc) and Chris gave me instructions on how to apply the beaver tail( thanks Chris) 4runr,the tail was dried,but i did tan one for back up!
John, That is the tail that i was telling you I screwed up the stiching,I was able to recover it ,but i'll redo this handle in time,Still have alot to learn!!
ken, Is that a beaver quiver? that"s NICE!! the arm guard is another project i may attempt,I love that one you have shown! Did you make that nice looking stuff?? thanks again all, i'm very happy with the way my monarch came out, the handle has a great feel to it as well as look!!
