That is a beauty for sure Clint, very nice job. Love the skins and curious on how the finish will hold up, keep us updated on that. ;)

Looks like you probably don't feel it bend in the handle at all Clint?Even at 3/4" thick.How wide is your arrow pass or handle for that matter?Nice use of a piece of osage Clint.

Wow, that turned out really cool Clint.  I agree with everyone else, those skins are freaking sweet!  That unbraced profile is where it's at.  Wouldn't expect anything less than quality from you, each and every bow (and other various projects) you build shows how much of a passion you have. Well done buddy

Great bow and that skin is sooooo cool. (Not usually a great fan of snake skin)

Looks good man.

Thanks guys. 

I'll try to measure the width of the handle section when I get home tonight.  It doesn't flex at all. 
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Very nice. I like the textile look of the skins. Takes the shiver factor away :-[ :-[. I can't help it, biggest snake around here is maybe 18".

Amazing looking bow. Bet is performs even better than it looks with all that reflex holding in.

The snake skins remind me of japanese koi or dragon skin.
