This is what I do.
« on: January 31, 2014, 02:12:00 AM »
May get deleted by the Mods? I don't know. But this is what I do in my spare time. Not advertising, just giving you all a look see at what I absolutely love to do! I'm no expert, but I think I'm getting close?     :saywhat:  

     

Wait, I'm not done yet...........LOL

There's more!

My Diamondbacks on a customer's longbow, don't remember which one he is, but he can step up and tell you all that he had his bow skinned by me.
 

Most recent customer Ben, and I think he likes it!
 

 

 

 

 


I'm sure that when Ben get's his bows back in his hands he will do a better pictorial than I can. I have a crappy camera and an even crappier write up. LOL
I just skin bows, and run CNC machines. LOL
I love my skin jobs, hate my everyday job, but it pays the rent and I have insurance, so whatta ya gonna do? Faget about it! LOL
Later,

If I had a bow I knew I was going to be keeping, and I didnt have nice wood I like to show, I would Absouletly have some kind of skins on them!

Not real sure? Including my own bows and limbs, longbows, takedowns, for customers I'd say around 20 maybe?
Thank You All for the great replies and comments. I honestly think that I've found my calling. It brings out my creative qualities and I'm good at it. That's the surprising part, until I skinned my first bow, I really did not know that I had it in me. Now, it's like second nature. I absolutely enjoy my time on the bench working on a bow, that's when I'm in my "Zone" no better feeling when you hit those skins with a coat of finish and they just "POP" right in your face!
I can't get any better feeling than seeing those skins jump out when they get their first coat of finish. It's a Zen thing I guess?
Anybody can contact me if they wish, my email is open and you can always message me through TG.
Thanks Guys, I really appreciate your kind comments.    :notworthy:    :campfire:

Oh Lord no! Please do not do that. Talk about fake garbage, you would be the laughing stock of the 3d shoot with those. LOL
Let a professional take care of it the right way and you won't ever be disappointed, you might even increase the value of your bow in the process? I've seen snake skinned bows sell for $200 bucks more than the actual value.

I've already called dibs on the A&H with the moccasin skins for the customer I'm working on now. I absolutely love that bow. If he ever decides to sell it, I want it.
