I had a copperhead skin that was holey and torn in several places; I ripped it down its center, and then just kinda cut all the bad off leaving the main pattern. Glue it down, very carefully, and then finished it with ploy. Not real sure how much I like it, but it is a way to use up bad skins and gives the bow some character.

You can't be serious?!!??!?

It looks INCREDIBLE!!!  As much as I do like to see snake skins on a bow-back, there are times when I think it covers up the wood just a bit too much.  You've shown incredible craftsmanship in being able to take the slimmest sliver of snakeskin (try saying that five times fast after half a bottle of Jack ;) ) and working it into the project in such a subtle, yet striking way!  The long tip overlays really add to it too, making the whole bow look really sleak and beautiful!

Great bow and good save of a tatty skin!

That's a beauty for sure Tim...! The skins look really cool and accents the bow and wood real well. Nice job as always.

Very beautiful bow, Tim!  Why no BOM?  Tiller looks perfect on it and I really like the way you did the skins!  :)

Wow!!!! excellent job on that. Looks sleek! It came out a real nice weight and holding 2" reflex what more could a guy ask for.
Shannon is gonna be thrilled.  Very nice of you. Shannon is a good guy. At the classic I had a few staves picked out of his pile and he said I needed to learn how to bargain better because I said " sounds good" to the low price he gave me right away. So he Talked himself down lower and lower until I couldn't take it anymore ;D  Glad to see this great bow being made for him. :)

Another beauty Timo. I like your idea for the strip of snake skin,very unique. I think I'd like to put a locater grip on my next bow, thanks for the inspiration  ;D Where do you find the leather grip wrap?

Thanks again all for the back slaps and handshakes,makes one strive the much more.

Wasn't sure how these skins would turn out. The toughest part is gluing them down,as one has to take special care with glue. i used a watered down glue mix and a small brush ,and  applied glue only on the skins, just a short length  at a time.   I then  worked down the limb slowly as I didn't want to have the worry of removing access glue later. Babysitting them as they cured. Had to re-glue a couple areas. Pretty easy really.

 Josh, I wasn't sure if it was kosher to have more than one bow in for BOM? I already have that osage character bow in. Doesn't really matter to me one way or another,if you want to. I just didn't want to seem like a " bow post hog"  :-\

Jesse, sometimes you run into people that help you to put faith back into our society. Shannon is such a one.

Steve Milbocker, that handle wrap is just regular leather,nuthin fancy. I did a how to last year about it.
