Title: Hickory Snakeskin-backed Bow
Post by: Jeremiah 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.

Thanks everyone!

Murf definetly in the right place! Let me know if I can help anyway, keep Uncle Danny in line! ;)

Pappy soon as I get South again I'm going to pay a visit for sure!

Bevan/Bubby, blame my eyes not my hand- left eye dominate so I've always shot everything (other than baseketball and pistols) left-handed, even though right-hand dominate. odd?

A nice one. I agree with Bub. Nice to see a shelf on the "right" side.
