Show and Tell

[deerhunter_w]

Hello Gang,

Its time for a show and tell. I want to see your bows with snake skins. If you could tell me what type of woods and skins you have. Im going to have my new centaur skinned when the time comes, and I'm looking for ideas. I have it narrowed down to copper heads and canebrake.

Thanks
Jeff

Just to confuse and aggravate you, the most beautiful set of skins I've seen were on a Two Tracks Ambush and they were water moccasin.

 

Those would be tough to beat!

Igor,

Bow is 68 inches long and draws 52 pounds at 28.5 inches draw.  The shape of the bow reflects the actual grain of the orange Osage stave.  I draw knifed it down to a single ring.  I used a form and reflex/deflexed the bow after shaping.  Grip is brain-tanned buckskin.  If you look close there are two knotholes in the upper portion of the riser that I worked into the bow.  Brian
