Partial skinning
« on: February 04, 2009, 11:30:47 am »
Does anyone do a partial coverage of bow limbs with snakeskins either for esthetics or due to shorter snakes?

I haven't done any but ParB and GregB just mention a few do them that way a lot and they look great.The usually just do a little thread rap at the end of the skin and it looks nice.

Here are a few I have done. I prefer to do it this way whether the skins are long enough or not. It causes less wear on the string when bracing and unbracing.
