Ha got yer attention eh My buddy Jesse sent me this stave almost floor tillered, I decided to finish it and send it back. Elm stave, rat snake(I think) backed, blue tongued skink(most likely a first) grip, mescal bean root tip overlays,
beaver tail strike plate, 55#@28", FF string. I'm only drawing the bow about 24" in the pictures, bad shoulder and can't handle the weight Jesse is a good Christian so I burned a fish in the handle along with his name. Hope ya all like it eh

Full draw well almost 24" is the best I could do.

Cool bow Dana. Your skills are very much improved...not that they were bad before. I'm sure Jesse will love it. I hope to see you and the bow at the Classic...and Jesse too!
:) I like it! Glad to see that skink skin got put to good use!
Igor its 64" NTN
Stone the tip overlays are mescal bean root
PatB I won't be making the Classic after all this year.
Keenan thanks bro, hows your back doing?
Thanks for all the kind words guys!
That's a nice stick Dana, very nice! I'm kinda liking those rat snake skins, that's the second bow I've seen with rat snake on them and I can honestly say that I like those just as much or maybe even a tad more than any diamondbacks I've seen on a bow.
I've got a pair of diamond backs tucked away, just waiting on the right bow to put them on.
How's it shoot?
Awesome looking bow!
Looks great Dana ,Jesse will love it !
Might want to resize your pics before the Mods get to them ;)
Two things Dana. How did you find sunny weather and no snow? And secondly, that bow is gorgeous! I never though about wood burning like you did. That sparked all kinds of thoughts, very nice work sir!
Was an easy winter here in the UP as for the wood burning I suck at it but it is permanent and I limited it to non bending areas. Thanks for the nice comments eh.
love the skins,like the handle wrap, just a gorgeous bow.
Very nice, I like the snake skin and tip overlays, thanks for sharing.
