Cobra backed hickory..."Son of the Evil Bow" (not for BOM)
« on: January 20, 2011, 01:52:30 am »
 :o Okay so this is only a little evil compared to the last demonic creation that I posted  >:D , still I think it turned out pretty cool. The skins were provided by a friend who loved the "Evil Bow" and wanted something similar but also wanted no risk of poking his wee widdle handy wandy on one of the snake toofs  ::) . The wood on the Riser and the tip overlays are Tigerstripe Maple and the skins are actually real tanned cobra (don't know which type) that are used in craft leather such as wallets and belts.

Not for BOM, just thought you guys might enjoy the fruits of my insanity.

Man you got that maple almost looking like marble!
"The way of heaven is like the bending of a bow-
 the upper part is pressed down,
 the lower part is raised up,
 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."

Wow is the right expletive. I love the bow and the skins but I have to say that maple handle is fantastic.   Danny

Yeah, just not evil enough..that's more like a 'smiley snakes on holiday' sort of bow... ::)
Great finish though.
