I agree , awesome bow, no set and looks beautifull with the snake skin and those snakey lines, I've yet to make a snakey bow, looks more difficult than the stuff I do....one day I'll try one, but i wil have a hard job finding snake skin over here.....

It was fun watching this one come along. Had it next to Voodoo Child (my snakey BOM from May 2009) and I have to say the detail and finish are better than mine. (Damn, did I say that out loud?! ;D) Anyway, it is. Will won't let me shoot it though, something about 30" draw makes him nervous... go figure.
Just remember, you can't put the wood back on.

DRon knife- Thank you sir :) I did put it in the caul to induce a bit of reflex and take all the prop out... Then flipped the tips "Pappy style"

Outstanding, Will.  I love the antler tips, the flip on the ends, the handle, everything.  A masterpiece!  Well done.
