That was my original thought being corn snake... unfortunately after 2 years looking I haven't been able to find corn snake I'm possibly dealing with a copperhead right now.... sometimes you just follow the path it leadsthe you down I guess ;)

That is begging for skins and would be a sin to not skin it, IMHO

Okay now the string is just a bit too far outside..... what to do
1 steam the handle and adjust from center...
Or
2heat the tip of the bottom limb and pull it over?? the bottom being the closest
 
 

 The only thing I'm worried about an option 2 is when I reflexd it I got a small crack in the back of the lower limb

  Soy,
             A slight bend in the handle will move the tips safely. Won't take much...

Ok i have toasted the belly... and I have to say it looks pretty cool... I've got it to braceit and have some adj. To do on the tiller...it has yet to cast its first arrow....soon very soon
 

One more question i was thinking i was not gluing on anything ...however with copper head skins on the way i am considering tip overlays...so what y'all think cocobolo, Jamaican Ironwood, or nothing...
