Thanks for all the comments guys.
   Clint, you nailed it, it is a Coral Snake pattern on all the colors, all red and yellow, no red and black.
   Kenny, the thread wraps were a pain in the arse.  They are far from perfect.  Had to wrap, cut off and start over a few times.  They look good, but could be better.
   Dubois, lot's of inspirational work from lot's guys on PA.  Just keep pluggin'.
   Pearl Drums, back at you Christopher. :)  Glad you like it!
   Thanks Greg.  Thought about Gnarly Carla while working on this one.
   Blackhawk,  I learn a little somthin' everytime you post a bow.
Thanks to all!

Red and yellow will kill a fellow, Red and black is a friend of Jack.  ;D  The wraps look awesome and to me along with the knots make the bow.

I really like that bow.  Nice simple design, knotty piece of osage, and beautiful silk wraps!  Nice work Slim. 8)

the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Man! Slimbob, this is a far cry from the piece of firewood I saw when you first started on it. I love the way the coral snake wraps came out! Great color combo. I guess you can give away your tools now.

Thanks Curt.  And yes, I have given away my tools.  Well, actually I gave away your tools.  Guy should be there with his trailer shortly (had to throw in your torch and welder to seal the deal). $30.00 gas money should get 'im back on the road. :)
