Don't know how long it took but it was worth it. Building a great shooter is usually good enough but you done gone over the top on this one.
Absolutely beautiful.

Great job, Ohma.  Outstanding workmanship.  Great tiller and snake covering.  I love the handle.

wow you guys are sure a great bunch to show off a bow to, i realy appreciate the the compliments. this piece of wood was a bugger not cause of the snake but it was very old and had a bunch of reverse crown in the back, made for alot of very meticulous scraping. the stave had about 3 inches of reflex and it has kept a little over a inch of it after resting unstrung for a while.i didnt do any straightening or heating at all it just lined up right. as for BOM i just make bows for my own pleasure and all the great compliments are reward enough. thanks again for all the nice words.

Better watch that one. It looks like if you lay it down it will slither away! Very nice!

That is about the most perfect stave for snakes.  One of the best bows I have seen in a while.

That's a very nice bow,you did a good job.  I built one very similar in May '08. 50#@ 26", 60" tip to tip.real snakey with diamondback skins.I've taken several deer,hogs,and small game with it,and still use it.I hope yours has the same medicine . Again ,great work. God Bless
