I like what you did with the bow.  The red seems to make the snake skin stand out.

I kept passing on this thinking I had seen it already, til I noticed the white oak part of the title. hard to keep up with the Henry Ford of bow making :)  excellent full draw, love the red with the skins.

Another nice shorty, Ken!

How do you like white oak? Comparable to other white woods like hickory?
