it is done i try to post pics of her. it is 541/2 long 52# @26" draw rawhide backed with timber rattlers over it. i stained the osage dark brown the strike plate and arrow rest is old zebra skin. tiller is not the best but it was a challenge on this snakey thing but it shoots good.

Looks good Tim. There does seem to be a little kink in the bottom limb but that could be an optical illusion. Them snakes are tricky to tiller.

Nice bow, tim. leave that out in the grass and somebody might shoot it. Heck, I would......snake shot in the .22.

Really hard to tell; kept looking at it for a while, I think it's the wood.

Very nice bow! Those timber rattlers look great!

PS: Do you happen to still have the neck of that old Zebra skin that I could trade you something for???

That is definitely a snakey piece of osage, looks like you did a good job on it. I like those timber rattler skins, my personal favorite of the rattlers.
