Snake skins on your bow
« on: May 18, 2009, 01:15:00 PM »
Im having a couple of bows being made and im having snake skins put on them. I would really like to see some of your skined bows or maybe tell me what looks good. These are the first custom bows i have ever had made.

Joe,
     Do a thread search for snake skinned bows. You should find quite a few pics.
Here is a set of Diamondbacks I just finished up on my wifes bow.

I am also a fan of Copperhead skins, although I have seen some Bull snakes that turned out very well.  I'd love to have a bow done with a red King snake. Below is a Morrison with Copperheads and the King snake I mentioned.

J.D. Berry used to use a lot of Boa and Python, pretty cool but I like Prairie Rattler the best. I'll see if I can find pics of the Shawnee I put Prairies on.

I'm with everybody else Ben. Can't wait to see those rock viper skins.

 I saw a bow the other day that was skinned with Texas rat snake. If you haven't seen a Texas rat snake look for a pic and check em out. NICE!

There was a bow on here that had Texas Rat Snake...I believe it was a Morrison.  It was amazing!
