Title: Let's see those snaked bows!
Post by: mmgrode on May 20, 2007, 03:37:00 PM
Hey Gang,
  let's have a look at your snake skin backed bows, whether done by you or others. From what I've seen they are beautiful. Let's see 'em! Cheers, Matt

Mickey: that lower bow in your photo looks like one of Timo's carp skin bows.
You've got a real nice collection.

I think a skinned selfbow shoots better. I also feel sneakier when I carry one.

What type of skin is that on your middle bow?
I like the darkness of it, I'm thinking about trying to dye a rattlesnake skin brown before I apply it, maybe even green, brown and black diagonal stripes.

not real sure, it was roadkill  :scared:  (that's where most of my skins come from)

It is some type of rat snake I believe.....

I won't kill bullsnakes or rat snakes, but I will sure pick em up off the road if they are in good enough shape (and fresh enough    :D  )

Now a rattler on the other hand......

Sweet stuff guys! Thanks for sharing them!
Dan- those bows look familiar, did you just post on those a little while back? Looks very nice!
Curt- What kind of skins are those in your top pic? Must be copperheads in the others, eh?

A guy sure can see how they aid in camouflaging a bow and adding beauty. Thanks again fellas. I'd love to see more! Cheers, Matt

Curt will correct me if'n I'm wrong (often am), but I think the top is prairie rattler and the middle is canebrake.

Funny you should ask Brent......all I'm gonna say is it looks AWESOME!!    :thumbsup:      :goldtooth:  

Still needs a couple of coats, but the D-Backs match the bow like they were made for each other!!   :D
