Hickory backed with rat snake
« on: February 22, 2012, 04:07:27 pm »
Here's a basic hickory self bow backed with some beautiful rat snake skins I received in trade from Criveraville.

Bow is 37#@26" and left handed. It was made for someone else so I'll let them take the money-shot full draw pic when they receive it.

Is it my trade bow?............maybe.......maybe not.......  >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D

Hmm,... The left handed arrow shelf might be clue to who might receive it....  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Very nice bow!

Oh I like that allot!  Them are some purdy skins. Love the tip wraps and overall colors.  But I can't for any reason understand why you cut the shelf on the wrong side? :'(

the shelf is on the perfect side, the draw is just to short, nice bow man, Bub
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.

Very nice, I like those Rat snake skins. Did you stain it under the skin?
