Looks awesome!
Hoping you can finish tillering soon to get the skins on

Yeah I finished up the tiller the other day and the skins are on the way.

Pictures?

Mad Max · « **Reply #106 on:** November 06, 2020, 04:53:08 PM »

Worked on the Handle today, The grain is awesome in this Stave

4" fades on each side.
I've been seeing some fades done this way so I thought I would give it a try, not so easy the first time but came out nice.

Arrow rest is on the right and will be a ambidextrous rest

Youve taken sexy to a new level

Mad Max · « **Reply #112 on:** November 07, 2020, 06:19:59 PM »

Thanks guy's

I have some coarse grind Turquoise, but it needs to be fine powder for a Arrow indicator.
So I used Grandpaws Hammer Dad gave me years ago.

I spot drilled with a 5/16" forstner bit on both sides
Filled the hole with it and super glue, filed and sanded smooth.
I think I'm going to leave the grip Naked, no leather or twine.

I normally don't care for turquoise powder inlays but here I think it fits. I like your idea of a naked handle here. How will you address the handle with the skins, joined at the center or end at the top and bottom of the handle?

I was sanding a little wedge today and trying to fit it on the side and I decided it was taking away from the look of the handle, so I decided to not use the arrow rest or a leather grip.
So I don't know yet how to end the skins?

Very nice, Mark.

Glued on one of the snake skins Today

It DID happen wif out pictures Roy

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #117 on:** November 11, 2020, 08:30:56 PM »

I didn't see em.

Flem · « **Reply #118 on:** November 11, 2020, 11:49:11 PM »

Yeah, how are you going to deal with the skin ends with no handle wrap?
Are snake skins, even with finish on them, something you want to handle repeatedly?

I think the Turquoise looks sharp

Turquoise tip overlays would hide the other skin ends

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #119 on:** November 12, 2020, 06:12:39 AM »

I'm surprised he used turquoise instead of hot pink:)

He can end the skins a tad above the grip, they can be feathered out on the ends easily.
