SWEET!! ;)
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

Looks like a heck of a nice bow and a good shooter to boot, very nice work all around on that one Falcon.

Absolutely beautiful, Falcon.  A few questions: was the skin tanned or raw?  Miss you remove the scales?

The skins were from Cipriano, how he does his exactly I am not sure. The main idea is that you just skin the snakes and lay them out to dry for a couple days. Make sure you tack them to a board or something of the sort to keep them lying flat. After they are dry you can glue them to your bow.  Once your glue dries, then you remove the scales carefully and seal over the top of it all.  Hope this helps.  There are plenty of how to's on snake skins here also.

Lovely bow, I really like the neat lacing on the handle grip, one of my downfalls.

Yea, it really was.  I wanted to keep it for myself, but he really liked it a lot, which made it fun to give away.
