A Little Roadkill
bjrogg:
Thanks guys. I appreciate the kind words.
I have been having trouble replying to post both on this site and leatherwall. I have wanted to reply many times to others threads and not been able to. I couldn’t even reply to this thread at first. I think I might have figured something out so hopefully I can fix that problem now.
Thanks Dave. I do really like the markings on the garners. They really pop on the white wood.
I have my eyes open for an eastern milk snake to match another roadkill I have.

I love that tiller!
Like you I have had to get creative with damaged snake skins. If I have a hole or tear, I cut a piece of scrap from the trimmings with the same size scales as the hole, orient the patch direction to be exactly like the surrounding scales, put a small drop of superglue in the opening and press the patch into place. I use a small roller to go over the patched area to make the patch and the skin look like one. After the finish is applied to the bow the patch becomes invisible.
Selfbowman:
Great bow BJ and no set on the 55# er as usual!
Muskyman:
That’s a great looking bow. Whoever you made that for will love it, I’m sure.
Are the skins on that just one snake skin on each limb, plus any patches? The garder snakes around here don’t seem like they’re that big. Maybe they’re bigger in MI.
