Wow! beautiful bow and snake skin.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Thanks everyone!  This one was supposed to be a bit heavier, but I kept tinkering with it and missed weight. The guy that it was for wanted a simple osage r/d with no skins or special character so after this one came in light I decided to pretty it up. I let him shoot it and he changed his mind and decided he could live with the weight too. ::) lucky he is my best friend and I know I'll still get to shoot it when I want.

Oakie, I have a caul that I made a few years ago to heat em. And don't worry about the sapwood, I've got one sappy osage, and one sappy mulberry I'm working on.  ;)

Rps, that was the whole skin I just cut it in half lengthwise. I still have two more just like it. >:D

Blackhawk, that's why I decided not to send it to you.  ;D I knew you wouldn't want it.

Good looking bow Dave.

Those skins are georgrous!  I can see why your buddy decided a lighter weight wasn't a big deal.  Beautiful bow.
