It didn't look like it...the space between the pattern looks too clear to me to be anything but the wood.  Did you happen to do something with a snake shed and dye the pattern on?  Or did you peel the scales off an actual skin with clear tape and then put the tape on the bow?  Sorry, probably grasping and straws here but I'm gonna keep guessing... ;) ;D

okay, one last guess.  You took a needle or some sort of tool and punched through a snake skin around the patterns...you then laid the skin on the bow and rubbed dye over it...sorta like a stencil....If that is what you did, wow you're a patient man...and it turned out nice.

Looks like the top limb is bending a lot more than the bottom limb. Are you pulling from the center off the string in the full draw picture? Looks pretty good other than that.

Was the pattern printed off a computer?  I see lots of bengay dots... I don't see how it was transferred, though... alcohol soaked through the paper?
