Post by: woodstick on August 19, 2009, 11:44:35 pm

it is done i try to post pics of her. it is 541/2 long 52# @26" draw rawhide backed with timber rattlers over it. i stained the osage dark brown the strike plate and arrow rest is old zebra skin. tiller is not the best but it was a challenge on this snakey thing but it shoots good.(http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii21/timmie_014/004-1.jpg)(http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii21/timmie_014/003.jpg)(http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii21/timmie_014/001.jpg)(http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii21/timmie_014/004.jpg)(http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii21/timmie_014/sweet%2016/005-1.jpg)(http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii21/timmie_014/sweet%2016/003.jpg)(http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii21/timmie_014/billets/002.jpg)

Looks good Tim. There does seem to be a little kink in the bottom limb but that could be an optical illusion.  Them snakes are tricky to tiller.  ;)

Nice bow, tim.   leave that out in the grass and somebody might shoot it.  Heck, I would......snake shot in the .22.

Really hard to tell; kept looking at it for a while, I think it's the wood.

Very nice bow! Those timber rattlers look great!



PS: Do you happen to still have the neck of that old Zebra skin that I could trade you something for???

That is definitely a snakey piece of osage, looks like you did a good job on it. I like those timber rattler skins, my personal favorite of the rattlers.  :)
