this is the first bow i ever applied snake skins to not even sure if both are rattler but got both very cheap so had to practice on something.
so how wrong is it.glued with tite bond 3 and finished with 8 coats of tru-oil.

You quit too soon....9 coats, son, 9 coats!
Sorry, just had to stir the pot a little. I think it looks great, it may not make the bow shoot any faster or your eye more accurate but you gonna make every shot in
STYLE!
Good work!

Nice bow! You have nothing to be nervous about posting your work. Good job. As for the skins they look like speckled king snake to me... Very cool.

Those skins almost have a geometric pattern to them... What type of snake?
