Thanks PD , Grady , I'm working on a recurve for him , cut the osage last year and got it down to floor tiller then let it set all summer , last fall I put the recurves in and straightened it , the string still lays down one side of the handle so I need to try and get another half inch to center the string in the handle , I've had a string on it and have it close to tiller .
Hope there is a match to the unskined one in the bag , have a 63" skin ready for his bow but looking at the one he just gave me got me to thinking " maybe a matched set of skins starting with the tails cut off at the rattles starting at antler tip overlays carved to match the rattles , wrap the skins down the sides and leave the belly uncovered to show the wood ," it would look like two snakes head to head at the handle going out to the rattles at the tips .
Sound like a good idea ?
