What finish for snake skin backing?

I just put some snake skins on a bow for the first time, and need to know what kind of finish to put over them. I plan on using this bow for hunting, so I don't want anything real glossy. Does anyone have a suggestion on what to use? Thanks.

I use Tru-Oil on all my bows, with or without snake skins. Tru-Oil has a glossy finish so I give the bow a quick spray of satin poly to kill the shine. Makes for a durable finish for any conditions.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.
