Title: Cobra backed hickory..."Son of the Evil Bow" (not for BOM)
Post by: Almostpighunter on January 20, 2011, 01:52:30 am: :o Okay so this is only a little evil compared to the last demonic creation that I posted >:D , still I think it turned out pretty cool. The skins were provided by a friend who loved the "Evil Bow" and wanted something similar but also wanted no risk of poking his wee widdle handy wandy on one of the snake toofs ::) . The wood on the Riser and the tip overlays are Tigerstripe Maple and the skins are actually real tanned cobra (don't know which type) that are used in craft leather such as wallets and belts.

Not for BOM, just thought you guys might enjoy the fruits of my insanity.

Stats:

54# @ 29"

72" (69ntn)

Post by: JW_Halverson on January 22, 2011, 05:54:11 pm: If the arrows come off the bow real fast I'd hazard a guess that they are "spitting" cobras. Hehehe.

Sweet finish work, as usual your attention to detail is flawless.
