Nice job, Coaster! I love that customized, fit your hand, grip and the skins turned out great!

Ahh, very nice bow. Love the grip, snake skin, tips, everything just flows together well on that stick.  Well done, sir!

Thank you all for the complements...  it was a fun build ...

Hawkman you're a randy little fella aren't ya ...   jumpin from one to the next >:D

This was a sissy snake next to one of yours pappy :)

I know some of you know this but the skin on this Python was every bit as thick a goat rawhide. That surprised me after using skins that were tissue thin...  anyway they added backing protection for sure...

That's a beauty! I have some streaked Osage, but nothing quite like that.  Very nice!  Josh

I wonder what causes the red/amber color Doc..  I've got another stave with it, makes a striking contrast in colors. I wonder if it changes the woods properties???

Great looking bow.  Must have been a good sized python with how that pattern is so large.

Wish I could hear the sound in the video. I like to hear a bow shot too.  Looks quick though.

Gaur my camera might pick up sound but I don't know how to turn it on  :-[

The horn in lay shows no wear against the strike plate/rest and the arrows that worked out perfect for this bow make almost zero noise on release!!! I was going to put a piece of beaver tail against the riser/rest but I don't think it will be any quieter!!! I got real lucky there :)

The Python in question will give me two more bows and enough trimmings to top off a homemade quiver if I ever get enough time to do it.... Monster snake for sure!!!!

Just realized I hadn't given the specs....  waited until I had a few hundred arrows thru it....  missed my target 50 buy a pound :)

Gorgeous handle work, glad there's no wrap on that one. Great bow!

Thanks George......  I'm with you George this chunk of Osage was way to pretty to cover up :)
