Snakeskin ideas for green Kanati
« on: August 13, 2011, 12:11:00 PM »
What skins do you think would work on this bow.  I'm leaning toward eastern diamondback, but I'd like other ideas with pics if possible.

Mangrove from Asia would be different for sure. Easterns, absolutely, also bullsnake would look great with the green.

Posting this from my phone... Hopefully it works.     :confused:    

   Black Rat Snake  

Simple, and would be a good contrast with the green on the bow.

Edit: Clearly not the best photo, a google image search would yield much better results.

Gonna shoot it for a week then skin it. Will post before/after pics for you Scott so that you can add prarie rattlers to your skin choices. Coarse Jason's gonna get the pics of the giant buck I am gonna kill with it  :)
