That is great Nate. I love the color of the snake skins.

Nate, I really think you have done an excellent job on this bow.  Hickory backed Osage is definitely on my to-do list, you pulled it off wonderfully.  Everything about this bow screams professional.  Got it bookmarked for Aug.  Backed Bow of the Month too.  Really nice job Nate!   :) :)

Awesome bow. I don't know if the tennis racquet wrap is an NTD original idea, but I think it is BRILLIANT nonetheless. Going to go out and get some tomorrow...or maybe recycle the wife's racquet...she hasn't played for years anyhow. >:D  ;D

Thanks everyone.

AlmostPigHunter,  I have used a prefabbed tennis handle wrap on a previous bow and really didn't like it.  This is actually a homemade job.  I sanded the bevels myself following Timo's buildalong.  Here's the link....this is a much better way than the prefab and it supplies the satisfaction of DIY.

Josh, the hickory is nice to work with and I'm having trust issues with bamboo right now ;D  I'm sure when you do an HBO you'll give mine a run for it's money.
