Looks great!  You said "don't know why we can't use snake skins here".  What did you mean by that?

I think PK is talking about California not allowing real snake skins being used....could be wrong..... :-\

That ended up being a nice effect. Does the bow shoot well?

thanks :) I just found out its can't import snake skins into cali.
The bow shot good before I backed it gonna give it a few days to cure.
The bow is an Osage I made a year or so ago I'll post it again soon as I get a grip on it.

very nicely done, looking forward to the finish line.
if your not dead you are getting older so get out and shoot some arrows.

tHE ONION SKIN BAG works really well in conjuction with an airbrush. The effect of adding color with the airbrush makes it extremely realistic.

What a great looking "Kingsnake" bow! Careful it doesn't eat rattler or copperhead backed bows if you're at a shoot ;D

You named it "B. B." right?

That is really nice.  I have been using the onion sack for a template on several bows and then hand painting the scales.  Here is one.
