I've got a pair of natural sister snaky hickory bows,but if you cut that snake in you better get that tiller dead nuts.I can attest to that hickory can break at full draw.It is very tough stuff as your picture is showing.

Thanks guys- and I know its weird or crazy but I have 50 or so shots through it...it is sinewed to protect the back,,some was natural some just created,,so far so good,It has a natural sight window which makes shooting a pleasure.Hickory is amazing stuff!teak oil finish!If it holds together I will apply a snake skin...we will see-Hammertime

Nice work,tiller on top needs so attention like has been said. :)  Hickory is tough that's for sure but Lucky or good,sinew or not you are fortunate that it has held together :) Hope it holds for you. :-\  If it was mine I wouldn't skin  it just yet. :)

Love to see that at a 3D shoot. Turn wheelie bow heads for sure hehehe. I like it! Hope it hangs in there. It's just screaming to put snake skins on it.

Hey Hammy?  Is this bow still holding together?
