I like it. Looks very "primitive" yet advanced... And art for arts sake  ;D

Finish work like they do sure isn't easy.  And while finish work doesn't make the bow shoot any better, it sure is nice to have a pretty bow that also spits an arrow pretty quick.  Nice work Ken.

Never seen the rat snake on a bow. Wow! It really looks good. How does it shoot? And how the heck did you make the broadheads? Those are sweet!

Dustin thanks the bow is a sweet shooter , broadheads are triangle cut outs 2 inch by 1 inch out of .080 steel. grooved 1/4 inch off the back and single beveled. makes a tough and effective head
