Burnsie:
Dang Brian! - you guys grow some healthy garter snakes up there!
Messed with a lot of garter snakes as a kid, don't think I ever recall one big enough to back a bow?
I will be keeping my eyes open from now on.
Awesome bow - love it.
Anyone ever use Pine snake skins. They can get quite large, they would always get squashed on the road as they stretched out on the warm asphalt. or they would get caught up in the baler.

Thank you Pat. It’s hard to believe it’s been over ten years now. I guess time flies when you are having fun and I have had fun here. I thank all the wonderful people I have met here that helped me
Pappy I really like everything about this one too. I have always wanted to try this profile. I’m curious what numbers it might produce. I’m happy with snappy it is.
Well Barnsie I’m glad we don’t really grow any poisonous snakes here. Our garters can get big enough for backing bows. One thing that really helps is their side pattern looks really nice. These were roadkills and a little damaged. I even had to use a little bit of belly pattern for one spot.

Well worked that time.
Next a couple pictures of the growth rings. Trying to show them coming out of arrow shelf and lower fade.
If I see it correctly. This bow is just slightly over one growth ring. Unless there something I’m not seeing.
The early wood is so thin it is hard to see. Might be missing something?
There is just a tiny bit of next ring left on belly.

That would make an excellent flight bow! Any chance you will chrono that with a light arrow?
