From Nate:
IT"S NOT PINK, IT'S OXBLOOD.

Here is a Hickory backed Osage R/D I just finished up.  It is 64" long, 62" ntn.  1 1/4" wide tapering to 1/2" tips.  It draw 50lbs @ 28".
It is backed with a sonoran gopher snake.  And the strike plate is gopher snake as well.  I used Coyote in the powerlam, riser, and overlays.   
I also did a tennis racquet handle wrap on this and I love it!  Thanks TIMO for that build-a-long, I think it turned out well for my first attempt

This gopher skin had some nice reddish orange hues to it.  I wanted to exxagerate that a bit so I dyed the hickory with Oxblood colored leather dye.  Well what I thought was supposed to be a dark reddish maroon became pink on the hickory.  I guess it's okay, my wife says I'm man enough to shoot a pink bow.

Sample of some of the Comments on this fine Bow:
"That's awesome. I can't believe how vibrant those skins are."  -ryoon4690
"Dang Nate, that looks nice! Your tiller is sweet,and I never thought of using skins for a strike plate,nice touch.
Your bows are getting better with every build,steady on son!" -Timo
"I think this is the your best bow to date. Tips, handle,skins, and tiller all look great!" -ScottD
"Now that is a beauty, Love everything about.Tips,grip,tiller,color,skins,did I mention that I liked it a lot. Very nice job."
-Pappy

Congrats Nate, very, very well deserved with all the great bows you've been cranking out.

Thanks Barrage!
And thanks to those who voted for my bow.  It's an honor to be counted among the BOM winners.  This is a special win for me too considering August marked my year Anniversary of joining PA.  I've had a lot of help this last year and I couldn't have done it without you guys.  Seeing your amazing bows posted over and over again kept inspiring me to get better.  Thanks again!
