I did a Black Swan w/hybrid longbow limbs using the synthetic rattlesnake skins from Three Rivers. The limbs were grey on the back that was covered. The belly has a thin brown wood veneer that looks fine behind the snake skins.
This being Arizona, I went with the rattlesnake skins rather than the copperhead ones.
Turned out great !!!!

You can paint the limbs prior to skinning and it will make the skin colors really pop. Metallic copper for copperhead or red ratsnake skins, metallic silver for gray ratsnake, cottonmouth, or rattlers.
