Great looking bow Ryan. I never thought of putting the extra length of rattler skin on the belly.  Great job. Justin

  Very sweet Ryan, I really like how you used that knot for the handle.

Quite the bow. Very distinctive handle. The ol' full draw will nail this one for April Self Bow of the Month consideration.

Thanks for all the complements guys!  ;D
Justin, ya I always try to do that if I have enough extra skin to do it. I think it makes it look sharp.
Eddie, eversince I split that stave out 2 or 3 years ago Ive been planning on using the knot for handle like that, /i like the way it turned out.
Dave, ya I hear ya. Its easy enough to find nice straight clean elm here though which I rate as good or bettter tha BL.
Redwasp, no handshock what so ever, I know its kinda long for a recurve but the static tips are so narrow that I don't think the they really add much if any mass.
Its November, I'm gone hunt'in.......

Beautiful bow!! I really like how you took advantage of the wood you had, and made the most of the character in it.
