Arkansas Yellow Bellied Viper
« on: December 31, 2012, 01:14:08 am »
Now that I see it in print it sounds kinda corny  :-[ Anyways here it is. Yeller wood with a little wiggle and some WDB skins. I had been waiting for three years for this stave to cure. I couldn't take it any longer. 52" and 65# @ 27" draw. Need to put some type of handle wrap on but I'm in no rush as I want it to be "just right". Maybe yella or gold leather. Thanks fer lookin'.

Thats one sweet snake and sage bow Jon, has just the right amount of  character in it. Hard to say for sure since I've liked all your bows but this one may be my favorite. How you get such smooth bends out of these short and heavy draw bows is beyond me.
I agree you should wait for the perfect leather to wrap the handle, gold colored for contrast against the skins sounds good.
Great work again Jon!
