Well I think it looks awesome and is a great way to use the shorter skins... I am going to have to "borrow" that idea on a bow in the future as I have a 20" Copperhead skin I can't seem to find a mate for...  ;)

 That's a beauty!  Like the color with the skins, looks the part of being primitive.  Tiller looks very nice.  Great job!
