Hey your Mike from BoarriorBows!  I just commented here then went to YT and started to watch your latest video when I recognized the bow.  haha  I really enjoy your videos man.  They have helped me a lot with my first few bows.  Thanks!

Thanks for the really nice comments all. Really inspiring feedback  :)

@criveraville: yes, you are the snake king. In fact that's your new name "Snake-Man Criveraville"

@PAHunter: Yep, that's me  ;D and I could not be more thrilled to hear the videos helped you with your builds! That was why I made the channel in the first place. I used Fiebling's leather dye: light brown and black on all the wood except beneath the snake skins which I kept natural.

@mullet: No stain under the skins. The lighter wood brings out the orange more in this skin. The black isn't as black as it would be if I put some dye below it, but I liked the orange and wanted to show it off.

Awesome job APH! I've been threatening to drop a hickory for some time now, maybe I'll get after it soon seeing how well yours turned out. I got some water mocassins just begging to be on a new selfbow and I'm starting to get the itch again.
