Hickory Snakeskin-backed Bow
« on: March 11, 2012, 08:54:34 pm »
Well its been right at 2 years since I had all the help from the guys at Twin Oaks on building this bow. This weekend, I was waiting on some glue to dry on a board bow I'm working and finely decided to put a leather handle on after all this time. Realized I didn't ever share it on here and thought it would be a good way to thank all the guys who helped on it- here's to yall!

Nice! Great color combos between the skins and the tip lams. I like the way the grip leather and shelf are combined.

I only see one BIG problem. Why you make it for the 'sinister' hand? >:D

Very nice looking bow. Well done sir!
