Blue Tongued Skink Elm Bow
« on: March 26, 2011, 07:27:00 PM »
Ha got yer attention eh  My buddy Jesse sent me this stave almost floor tillered, I decided to finish it and send it back. Elm stave, rat snake(I think) backed, blue tongued skink(most likely a first) grip, mescal bean root tip overlays,
beaver tail strike plate, 55#@28", FF string. I'm only drawing the bow about 24" in the pictures, bad shoulder and can't handle the weight Jesse is a good Christian so I burned a fish in the handle along with his name. Hope ya all like it eh

Cool bow Dana. Your skills are very much improved...not that they were bad before.  I'm sure Jesse will love it. I hope to see you and the bow at the Classic...and Jesse too!

That's a nice stick Dana, very nice! I'm kinda liking those rat snake skins, that's the second bow I've seen with rat snake on them and I can honestly say that I like those just as much or maybe even a tad more than any diamondbacks I've seen on a bow.

I've got a pair of diamond backs tucked away, just waiting on the right bow to put them on.

How's it shoot?
