That turned out nice!  The skin looks better than most I've seen.

Finished up Sweeeeet Clint, very nice bow. I'm liking those deadly looking cotton rattler skins too.

 8) Bow .........Really like the tips, they will really pop when the osage ages a bit.  I've got to start doing more of that, looking at the wood contrast down the road.  again nice bow.

I hope they aren't getting any shorter Josh.  I was doing some work outside and needed long britches.  A dead red oak fell across the road and I had to cut it up and move it.  Running a chainsaw in shorts makes your shoes fill up with wood chips.

I got some of that cotton rattler from Clint's dealer and it is great! Several orders of magnitude better than the stuff thru other sources. Like someone else said, it's great if you don't have real skins available.

Clint, you really did it proud with this one.  You left it all on the field, as they say.  Amazing little weapon there!

Very nice bow Clint! Lots of bend there.  Those skins are unique and stand out. Is that the same thing as a water moccasin?
