You quit too soon....9 coats, son, 9 coats!

Sorry, just had to stir the pot a little.  I think it looks great, it may not make the bow shoot any faster or your eye more accurate but you gonna make every shot in STYLE!  Good work!

Nice bow! You have nothing to be nervous about posting your work.  Good job.   As for the skins they look like speckled king snake to me... Very cool.

Those skins almost have a geometric pattern to them... What type of snake?
