Pat,

That bow is looking sweet. That skin looks great on that bow.. Can't wait to see the rest of it and I sure hope you enter it in BOM ;)

Funny story about that snake skin. One Sunday afternoon Diego and I were at our monthly Iron Men get together at church. My friend Pat rolled in on his Harly and said, "there's a snake on the shoulder on the other side of Bluff Dale. I would have picked it up for you, but I'm on my bike and didn't have anywhere to put it."

Well... Diego and I skinned out of there early and headed up we road and some how it ended up on a bow in NC 8) Kind of neat if you ask me...

Looking good Pat! glad to know your gonna have that at the classic. Have you worked any of the wood I brought you last spring?

 I been thinking about shucking one of those sister staves of the two that you and Keenan have.  ;D

 Hope you had a good Thanksgiving bud and I can't wait to see that bow done.

Well, I got her almost finished...
53"t/t, sinew backed osage(stave from Gary Davis),  52#@26", 13.5 oz mass weight, choachwhip snake skin from Cipriano over sinew backing(heavy course of leg sinew and 4 pieces of shreaded back sinew) , Am. bison horn overlays from Justin Snyder, hemp cordage handle wrap set in Massey finish, Ferret's floppy rest, 4 layers of Tru-Oil and 3 of satin poly.
  This little bow is a shooter! I made a silky dogwood arrow that weighs in at 508gr(with 125gr point)and she really zips that arrow. Shoots my hill cane and tapered ash hunting arrows(650gr+) pretty well too even though they are a bit stiff for her.
  I am real pleased with how this bow came out. She holds about 3/4" of reflex immediately after unbracing and a bit more after resting.  Here are a few preliminary pics. Will get full draw pic later today. Enjoy...
