Looks like red tail boa skin to me (also know as the common boa).  That is one heck of a bow.

Ye Li,
Most definitely a "snakey" bow!  Very nice job!  I'm with Bob, looks like a winner to me!

Ye Li...I have often wondered what happen to you after MoJam...you did a fine job on this bow!  I don't think the inners need much either as the additional wood needed tillering a snakey bow often requires a little added stiffness in the fades to increase speed and reduce handshock.  That is a BOM for sure...enter it and you have my vote.  The tip overlays are pure art as well.  Hope to see you at one of the bow making shoots this year.

Like Mike said Lee. We knew you were gonna produce something fine. We could all see that you really had the bug. Don't no if you know it but we gave you a different handle. We called you Beaver cause you really made the chips fly. I just wish I could have been there for the first arrow you let loose. Bet that was a sight.

You did real good with that one. Don't take that one to Florida or the python hunters will get it on you. I know you were in search of a nice snaky stave. Looks like you found it and did it proud.

PS hope to see more in the near future

Thank you Bjrogg! Actually I found many!! haha, yes I will post more. Hope to see you next year!!

Cool bow!
To me it also looks more like a boa than a python.
I have a rock python skin, which is a quite thick skin. Was yours also thicker? Did you prepare it somehow different as the thinner skins?
With the nocks I have a bit of a problem but maybe I'm wrong. I like the looks but I experienced following: different woods( materials ) have different densities, - when the string loop pushes down, it will compress one more which will create a lil step by time. This will wear off the loop.
Maybe I'm wrong, but i repaired tips of some fg bows where the nock grooves weren't done properly.
The strings got cut always at the same spot, where I always found a lil step at the transition from wood overlay to glass laminate.
Just my two cents...
