Why not do it yourself?  It's not that difficult.  I just made a buddy of mine a laminated longbow and he really wanted snakeskins on it.  I had never done it before and was a little worried about screwing up his bow.  I ordered a pair of western diamondback skins from Mike Yancey at Pine Hollow Longbows (a sponsor here) and he also took a good bit of time giving me some pointers.  I am really pleased with how it turned out and will likely skin the next bow I make for myself.

Here's a link to a "how to".

Last time I checked Morrison was way too busy to take on any more skin jobs. That said it is really quite easy to do the job yourself. I've done about 18-20 of them on my own and others bows and all of them look great and are shooting fine. If you do it yourself you also have the pride of doing a good looking job yourself. FRJ
