Close up of the skins





Two different snakes

Here is a bit of the writing



This is the first bow I have named. I call it the red devil because of the corn snakes skins and I am in the Devil Brigade so it seemed fitting.

I hope ********* likes it. I will PM the tracking number once I get it. Sorry I was on of the late ones.

Looks cool Kelly. But that dang weed is in the way and I cant quite make out what it says under there?

The red devil has launched. If you mark Riley is on a map and you live 2500 miles or less the bow could be headed your way. Hope you like her *******

You may mark me as shipped and received! I am still basking in the delight of receiving a beautiful piece of work from arrowind (Jared.) He did an outstanding job on his bow and I am extremely proud to own it. I feel as though he put the tape to me in order to customize this bow so completely for me! Well done, Jared! Hate that it took you 5 tries, but you nailed it on this last job.

Hey Scott!
First, I'm glad it made it there in one piece.  After all it took to get it done I have to say I was a little worried.  From looking through your posts I learned a few things about you.  One you are THE MASTER Knapper!  and two a pretty darn good hunter too.  I can't knap to save my life....otherwise I may have sent a stone point arrow as well.  I wanted to try and make something that would honor the hunter in you.  Glad you like it.  If it took 10 tries I would still do it.  Of course we'd be well into next years trade by then.... :laugh:

As promised here are a few pics of the bow I got from Gus. Minus the full draw because no one is here to take it yet. Thanks Brian!
