Very nice looking bow.  Those aren't broad banded water snakes.  They look more like diamond back water snakes.

Yep, eastern diamondback water snake is correct. And you did a wonderful job with that crooked yeller stik

Cheers guys!

loon - I think its time you get building! no better time than now

Pearly - Thanks again for the wood!

Pappy - I agree, Osage is the King, Yew is Queen, anyone married will tell you who really rules the house though  ;)

Clint - Thanks for the ID, I remember now the skins came from RyanC

DC- I think the bow is around 60-62"?

Beadman - I shoots great, I think it'll be my 3d bow this year. Perfect target weight for me

Jeff - Burchart Gardens are in Victoria on the island, this is Queen Elizabeth Park. Burchart is super nice

Beautiful bow.  As has been mentioned those pin nocks are awesome.  What material did you use on your tip overlays?

Jon, it's just small scraps of rawhide. The quickest and easiest tip overlays ever

Green river - I mostly only use pin nocks. For me they are quick and easy, I don't like the looks of too much meat past the string grooves

Never get tired seeing your work, Ryan. That stick is very nice, I love the plain simplicity.
