You don't want put a set skins like that on a lam bow, you need to just send them to me and I'll stick them on a piece of snaky OSAGE!

You do want a lighter wood color under the Copperhead skins. They are real thin and will lose a lot of their magic over dark wood by blending in.

Brandon I bet some osage veneers on the back and belly with rosewood riser and some rosewood and osage accents would look sharp with them skins. Osage and rosewood actually sounds like a pretty sweet combo.

Maybe an osage stripe in your rosewood riser with some rosewood overlays on the tips.

Man I'm getting a picture in my head that is making me drool...........

Stiks,
you were drooling at cooper head skins so, I bet you go thru key boards the way Joe goes thru a stave.
