Nice bow!  Those character flaws in that piece of osage are actually beauty marks in the finished bow, looks great.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

Nice work on a tricky stave!  Where do you get the linen with that pattern?  I will have to try that sometime.

Hi Patrick. I'm a newbie, working on my first hickory bow right now.  Congrats on finishing that bow... looks amazing! Where did you find copperhead linen?

Is it just linen with snakeskin pattern, or is it something all together different?  Thanks!

That is pretty sweet looking.

However I never heard of snake skins being made out of linen. >:D

Tell us more.

That's one sharp looking bow!  I got to get my hands on some copperhead skins one of these days. 
Thanks,

Way to see that one through to a beautiful bow! Kids are the best at naming bows  :) Way to bring the nephew back to the dark side  ;)
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso
