I'm working on a red oak board bow backed with drywall tape.  I'd like to cover up the ugly backing with some snakeskin, but the real thing is a little out of my price range.  Can anyone point me in the direction of a site that sells synthetic skins?

+1 For Onestringer, great people, fast shipping, and honest prices can't beat that. I've had nothing but good satisfying experiences dealing with them. Best arrow wraps on the planet and though I haven't used the limbsations limb covers I would assume they are just as good.   :thumbsup:

You can also find snakeskin or other natural design fabrics that look real good under some poly.  Go to the fabric store and find something you like.  A yard is usually less than $10 and will do lots of bows  :)   Get something thin.

I have a set of Onestringer Limbsation canebrakes rattler and must say these are not a cheap sticker. They took a HD pic of the actual skin and did their magic by putting it on a synthetic. I blended the edge of the limbsation after trimming with 150 then 220 grit so it did not look like a sticker from the profile. turned out quiet nice IMO and will be offered as an option for those that dont want the added price of the real skin or in a state where the skin would be illegal.
