Not in love with my bow, What to do?

(1/4) > >>

8up:
Working on my 2nd bow. Its hickory and the tiller looks great, The tip overlays look good. Now comes the part that makes me want to hide it in the closet. I put prarie rattler skins on it and one dried considerably darker than the other. I am thinking of wiping the lighter one down with dark walnut stain.

Has anyone did something to make skins match better?

Thanks, Ron

Auggie:
Well, I dont know if Id stain it myself,Id probably enjoy the contrast,Hey! If you really dont love it Im shure Icould! Need my  adress? Auggie.

Stickhead:
Symmetry is overrated!  Don't stain it!

sonny:

you may dislike the color even after you stain it.

LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE !

Well no need to change its color now. I put duct tape on it to remove the scales and when I pulled the skin ripped. So now I have 1 limb with a skin and 1 without. Now I need a bow to shoot selfbow class this weekend. So now I have to decide if I want to shoot a recurve this weekend or rip the other skin off this bow and seal it. Today sucks  lol
