Perfect tiller, very nice bow.

Looks like you used titebond to glue your skins on with. I don't like it for skins because the yellow shows through the skins muting the true colors. I prefer Elmer's stainable wood glue which dries to a neutral tan, almost clear color.

Good observation Eric.  Your correct. 

Thanks for the tip.  Never had to worry about it with parrie rattlers I done before.

I will look into a different glue next time

Thanks a million for all the positive responses.  Means alot to me.

That bow needs a fast-flight string!  We may have a contender here!
It's outstanding work, congratulations.

I grabbed the yellow glue without thinking when I skinned my wife's bow. I already had one skin on when I realized my mistake so I went with it.

This timber rattler wasn't yellow before I put it on.
