Needing two LONG snakeskins for a long bow.

<< < (3/3)

Pat B:
You want to put them on wet. Clean well with dish detergent and warm water, rinse well, blot off excess water and they are ready to glue up.
 If you can find a timber rattler long enough you can cover 2 limbs by cutting in half lengthwise. Timber rattlers usually even have a center line to cut along.   :OK

Those are perfect! I can apply a dye to the back of the bow where the snake skin ends to the tips. I had to shorten the bow to gain some weight so it’s 66” now.

sleek:
Ok. They are yours then. How much sinew are you willing to trade for them?
