Congratulations to Josh Baty of Fultondale, Alabama
His Copperhead Snake Skin Decorated Osage Wins April Self Bow of the Month
http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,18981.0.html
From Josh:Well, i am through taking my time with this one.  I spent more time on this one than I have any other bow so far... Osage with Copperhead skins, 65" NtN, 52# @ 28".   Started with around 1.5 inches of reflex and after shooting it in it sits dead flat.  10 coats of tru oil lightly sanded between each coat after the first 5, then one coat of satin Poly to cut the shine... This is the first bow I have ever used snakeskins on and I want to thank Gordon for the wonderful Hazelnut Buildalong which helped me a bunch with the skins. I think it turned out pretty good, I love the way it shoots and I think that is all that really matters anyway... It's just a bonus it turned out pretty.

From you folks:
"Lookin' good Josh. Nice work." -Ranger B
"beautiful! love the skins, love the tips, love the tiller, heck...  Ill just say i love the bow eh? " -Aries
"that is a work of art " -david w.
"Man, that looks real good Josh! Great job on your first skin job. Them's some big copperheads." -Okie
"josh you have turned into a real pro , thats a beautiful bow , finish work is awesome !! have fun shooting " -ken75
