snake skins II
kdub:
hey Hunter I need to get it together and get the connection for my camera via my computer. Ive got a bunch of pics to post once I get that...maybe a couple more weeks and Ill have it. I ended up stitchimg it up with leather lacing. It loks pretty good. The belt is cottonmouth and the belt buckel is diamond back watersnake.. By the way... I killed them all with arrows even though I used my PSE kingfisher to do it.(It wont get messed up in the swamp and has a screw in fishing line spool.)
huntertrapper:
alright cool, so youve made stick bow kills alreadyt then... ;D
Justin Snyder:
You would be better off to put linseed oil or some kind of saddle leather treatment on it if it is for a belt. We always use linseed oil on the flesh side for hat bands, belts and wallets. Then sew it on. Justin

When I owned a leather shop(many years ago) there was a product made by the Feibings Co(leather dye makers), called Resoline(sp) that was an acrylic finish that goes over leather. We used it on our snake skin belts also. Pat

Pappy and GregB hooked me up. I painted the bow black under the skins then glued them over it. It really brings the color out. I started with a sharpie but then painted it with acrylic black paint then glued the skins over it. Looks nice and bright.
