What kind of skins does this bow need?
« on: July 24, 2013, 05:34:00 PM »
I'm trying to decide if I should skin this baby or not. If so what type of snake and what should I expect it to cost? Pics would be appreciated as well.

A green diamondback would look sharp with that riser... but canebrake has a nice line in the middle

Onestringer's limbstations. You could order copperhead, canebrake, diamond back, prairie rattler, and bull snake for less than it would cost to have any one done. They look good and can easily be changed / taken off if you change your mind.

As stated before,Rob,if you use copperheads,first paint those limbs GOLD. That will make them pop. I think a nice Western D-Back would look good. Just make certain you don't get a big ol'whopper snake. The scales are like a dragon,and the diamond pattern is so big,it is not as crisp/detailed as a younger snake would be. Plus,the pattern goes off the edge of the limbs BAD with big snakes. rat'
