Thanks Cowboy, I might leave the wrap off next time and see how it works out.  I appreciate it Dennis, I like the looks of a black snake skin also... ;)

Greg, thats a hell of a nice looking bow. I've done dye jobs similar to that before, I like the way it looks but I just have a hard time covering up the natural color of osage. Theres just something about it.
 I'm like cowboy, I don't put any wraps over my snake skins, just put em on wet and work out the bubbles. Nice bow anyways Greg.

 Wow Very nice bow Greg. The colors, the unstrung profile, braced profile and overall package is awesome. You really nailed the tiller on that one as well and your stiching on the wrap is excellent.   We are often our own worst critics because we notice every little process that we could have done better. However the rest of us are inspiried to look at such a fine bow. Thanks for sharing.  Keenan

Wow that's a beauty Greg! That's the first bow I've seen with black snake skins and I like 'em. Tiller looks great as well as the finish and details.

Greg...if you ever do another Rawhide Back Snakeskin Bow...like my Sycamore I had listed...and this Bow of Yours....try Hide Glue....and no Bandage wraps....as the Hide Glue dries...it will draw the Snakeskin down tight to the Rawhide....just make sure that you degrease the rawhide and scuff it up some.... I have never had a Problem yet with a Skin having Bubbles or letting go ...this way....By the way...very nice Bow....and I am holding off...yet another Month with my Plains Bow.....maybe I will just keep it to myself!!! ::)

thanks greg, i'll have to try it on my next hickory project   like ryano, i like the color of osage too much, to hide it.  of course for people who drown in osage (like you and pappy) that's a different story  ;D

by the way, if you point out the flaws in that skin-job to your brother, you might be able to keep it  >:D  but since i couldn't discover any (you sure they exist and it's not only in your imagination?), it might not work after all   ;D

Thank you very much all of you for your kind remarks. I really appreciate it and it means a lot coming from folks who enjoy and excel in bowyering. :)

I definitely won't wrap again when the skin is over hide. I'll probably try like you guys suggested and not wrap at all next time and see how it turns out. ;)

Thanks again,
Greg
