Nope this skin is from a couple eastern diamondback water snakes. Did your package ever make it?

Thanks guys for the comments (and for not stating the obvious flat spot in the lower limb.) I heard a guy once say "gotta have some imperfection in everything I make, cause there's only One perfect!" Guess I'm a little like that.

That bow could easily be mistaken for a snake. I commend you for not only for taking on such a challenge, but pulling it off and making a great bow. Bravo!

Way to dig into the scrap pile and turn out a real beauty.  Looks like you played that piece just right.  Nice work.
