Now I know what to do with that western diamondback I have had in the fridge in salt since last season. Never got another as hoped to do a bow so this is great inspiration.

Not sure how I missed this one...

I love to decorate wood arrows with snake skin. I wrote a how-to article for TBM that should be in the next issue describing how I do it. It's really pretty simple...here's a few I've done...

Guru,
Those are OUTSTANDING      

One thing that I always do is point the part of the scales that lift up to the nock end of the arrow, so they don't mess up your arrow flight.  Guru, Nice job on the skins. You beat me to writing an article in the TBM. I had started one a couple of years ago and just left it go. Can't wait to read it.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread.  I will try it soon.  Chad
