I have absolutely no doubts that the bow and snakeskin backing will be awesome.

 If you sew or supper glue I do both. From the inside whill wet you really have to look at it to see it after you but it on. Or Ihave super glue a peice under the hole just match the parrern up.
  Or just send it to me dos'nt look that good anyways.

Very nice colors for sure. How do you guys treat the skin or just dry it out. I understand using antifreeze is not good if your backing a bow? Thanks

That really turned out nice.  I wish our rat snakes were that pretty.

Hey Rich,  looks like the squirrels up there put on one heck of a winter coat ;D
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Beautiful!!!  Did you get one to match it?  If so,  they REALLY matched nicely. That's a classy looking bow.

No way George.....That's all one skin (except under the grip leather) ....I split it in two equal halfs and come IN from the tips towards the grip.....Worked great and I hope Kenny likes it. After the glue up and clean up and the wax/grease treatment....it actually changes color depending on the sun angle.

Hey Osage, I passed yer sentiments on to Keika, and while I am not fluent in Pomeranian I dont think her response was too nice >:D

I was afraid it was too short, glad it worked out. You handled that hole in the skin nicely. Good deal.
