Onestringer Limbstations

Anybody got some pics of these on longbows?  I'd like to see how the different patterns look on the thinner limbs.

Joekeith...What do you have wrapped around at the point where the skins end?? Real nice looking!! I've have a Gen III due in April..can't wait first new bow.

[joekeith]

Zradix, I just used some waxed string, the stuff used for stitching leather.  It isn't necessary, I just thought it matched the look of a horsebow style bow......You oughtta be real happy when ya finally get the bow.  They really zing an arrow.

I too am wanting some OneStringers "snake skins" for my curve.  It is a Bear 71 Grizzly that is brown in the riser.

The problem is I don't know what to do at the middle where the stations would meet.  Would I have to put a leather grip on it to hide the seam where they come together or one of the roll on rubber grip things?

I'd like to hear how you all have done it on your 1 piece curves that you have "skins" or limbstations on.  If you have pics, that would be AWESOME as I'd like to see what the end result looks like.

Thanks Joe. Looks good!

[joekeith]

Nala....you can just match up the pattern and butt them up together.  My Stalker is like that.  I'll try and get some pics of it today......

[Bonebuster]

Can they be put on the belly side of the limbs as well?

[joekeith]

Yep....I've got them on both sides of my Stalker.

Thanks Joekieth...happy day!

I just put some on an old Bear Polar for my cousin.  He picked up the bow at Kalamazoo and wanted something to cover the white fiberglass.  I think they came out nice, but were a little harder to trim up then I thought.  The blade got sticky and caught in a few places that made the cuts not 100% straight.  Look very nice, though...Mike

 

 

Thought I'd add a pic of the bow before limbsations.

 

[Nala]

OH WOW!!!

Now THAT is one sweet looking setup!!  "I think they came out nice."  Are you kiddin' me?  That is AWESOME!  Those Copperhead limbstations are really striking.

I went to Onestringers page and checked out his selection of Limbstations and thought that the Copperhead stations would probably work well on my Grizzly.  I didn't know they were that BRIGHT.  Not that it's a bad thing, I think they look great.  I just don't know how well it would look on my BROWN riser Grizzly.

I'm trying to think of a shade of brown I can compare it to so you all would have a better idea of what I am talking about, but I can't think of anything that really HITS it, if ya know what I mean.

Do you all think that Copperhead would look good on my Brown Grizzly?

Anymore pics of 1 piece curves with Limbstations or skins on them?  C'mon and post 'em.

Thanks for the kind words.  I'll post a pic of his riser.  Not sure what it is, maybe bubinga?  I think it looks good on this riser.  Can you post a pic of your riser?

 

[Nala]

I'll try tomorrow.  Mine is darker than the one you just posted.

I hope I'm not in trouble for HiJacking this thread.  If so, I apologize for my rudeness.

Here are pics of my Bear Grizzly Riser.....

 

[Nala]

And another for your viewing "pleasure"...  

 

What color limbstation do you think would work well on this riser?  Do you think the Copperhead station pictured above would work on this riser?

Thanks for the help.

I was looking at your bow and onestringer's site and I think maybe the canebrakes or prairie rattler would look better than the copperheads with your riser wood.  Hopefully someone with more snakeskin experience will chime in for you...Mike
