Snake bow

Well on its way.

Coming along nicely. Just enough snakiness.

Lookin good so far Arvin. Are you gonna put snake skin on her

[Selfbowman]

No it’s going to be 35@24 so no extra weight of glue and skins desired.

That's gorgeous! I love the profile and the snakeyness!

Congrats Arvin...someone will be very happy with that bow.  I think it has just the right amount of snakiness so as not to stress the wood.

35@24 one coat true oil . Couple more costs and off to my leather man for the handle rap.

Thats a really nice looking bow. Perfect amount of wiggle to it.

Beautiful looking bow. Great job on it Arvin. Looks like a December bow of the month to me.

Gotta agree. Nice wiggle. Should be a nice bow. Pleasant to the eyes too.

Guys I agree it’s a candidate for bow of the month but it was a bow blank from JiM Hammer and I won’t be doing the wrap on the handle. I will probably enter the black locust though. May not be as sexy but a faster bow at 10 grains per pound. And I am no photographer!

I know most guys keep there snake bows flat as possible across the limb section . I like to thin the outer parts of the curve. Here is an example of a limb section thickness.

Where my limbs are centered up with the string I make the limbs flat as possible.
