Christmas Trade Work
Mo_coon-catcher:
I'm curious if anyone else had any interest in doing snake shed backings in bows? If so then I'll send a couple in the package. I've got a few collected and my big girl is about to shed again. She's an Enchi ball python that is now big enough that one skin should cover a bow well. Once applied you get a scale pattern and its faint, but you can see the pattern from the animal. There's no guarantees she will peel it off in one usable piece, but there's a chance. Sometimes they rip them or they get peed on. She's a bit over 4' long and soda can diameter now, and their sheds are generally 20-30% larger than they are. They are easy to apply if you take your time, and being from a small Python are a lot tougher than those found from a rat snake.
So any interest as a filler?

Nothing wrong with that. I've never seen one used but I'd sure love to.

Nothing wrong with that. I have never used snake skin, but would like to try it out. I am into pretty much anything even remotely bow and arrow related. Along with most things primitive. I am thinking of putting together a package similar to what I gave last year. Basically a bow and arrow making package. Stave, shafts, handle/overlay material, maybe some fletching, and trade/ stone points. What do y'all think? Cheers- Brendan
P.s. oh and I Knapp too!
UtahChippewa:
All is good with me, any raw materials, bow staves, arrow shafts, finished bows, finished arrows, flint, rock, skins, even shrooms! I'm game. If ya made it, gathered it, found it, or borrowed it! That's what this trade is all about. )P(

They all sound like good gifts to guys. Kyle I'd love to try a Shed from your Boa. I use to have a small bull snake and two tarantulas. It was always so cool when they shed. The tarantulas especially. There would be the old worn faded shed and the bright brand new shinny real spider. Still amazed how they can do that.
