I was contemplating what to skin this Howatt with, and skeptically decided on a pair of Arizona Mojave rattlesnakes. They were HEAVILY salted so it took some soaking and work to get them ready, and I didn't get to see the true color through all the salt. They looked to be more brownish, and I thought that would match the brown riser nicely.
Once clean and ready, they showed their true colors...a greenish gray. I was totally surprised by the end result, but I really like the look of it.
Just wondering what you guys think? I use a lot of skins, but this is the first time I've had a complete opposite result from what I was going for....I know not everybody likes skins, so feel free to chime in if you don't like 'em. Just felt like sharin with the trad gang. Kinda bored tonight.

My next choice were these diamondback watersnakes...

Ummmmm....WOW!

That turned out sweet David! David skinned one of my bows for me (Medusa) and his work speaks for itself!

Makes me want to skin another bow...

Looks real good to me.

I also must say that if any of you are looking for skins David is the man. I recently bought a set of ball pythons from him after searching like forever and they were perfect, absolutely perfect. Came in quickly too.

Ask and you shall receive brother...

David skinned this rocket launcher with diamondback water snake skins and added a few extra touches. He does outstanding work...

I was messin around with some 2016's today and she shot clear over the 3D deer target on down into the woods. She's a flat shootin rig, I'll tell you that and pretty sporty lookin to boot!

The skins came out great,

..I do think the watersnakes may have looked better with that bow.

YORNOC · « **Reply #12 on:** September 05, 2011, 08:27:00 PM »

Yeah, me too. The browns were the color I was shooting for.

Maybe it's just me but I like the contrast between the skins and the bow woods. Looks classy...
