Ha ha!  I looked at your previous post and thought..."Nice looking skins.  Really unique."  Thanks for sharing that tip...just might have to try that out in the near future!

I was gonna ask on your "intro" thread to this bow....

Brother you really have too much time on your hands.

Not only that, but your younguns are gonna be mad as heck when they find out you've been playing around with their art supplies.  :biglaugh:

Thats AMAZING! Thanks for sharing. Now the million questions start. Like Mike above asked what are using for the "crayons"?

Thanks folks.  I've been wanting to do this for a while.  I like copperhead looks but not big on killing snakes just for aesthetics.  Plus they are dammed 'spensive.

Those are "Conti Crayons".

Fooled me!  Looked like the real thing on the other post!  I love the idea - I really don't like killing snakes either and that looks great.  Let us know how it seals up.
Enjoy the hunt!  - Mitch
