Howdy Fellas,
I was wondering if some of our Pacific Northwest Brothers or Sisters, or anyone else for that matter, might be willing to part with some wood for some East Texas Snake Skins.
Here is what I'm Hunting (Seasoned):
Yew: something nice and tight, about 52 to 62" x 3"W x 2-3"H (Thinking Sinew Backed Paddle Bow).
Vine Maple: Looking for something that would get me to 60 to 70# at 27", don't have to be too straight, but workable.
Ocean Spray: Looking for something that would get me to 50 to 55# at 27"... Also looking for 2 or 3 dozen Shoots that will spine 50 to 55 and be minimum 30".
I would also be up for trading for some Hill Cane shafts.
At the moment I have some Texas Rat Snake, Cottonmouth, Broad Banded Water, Diamondback Water, Bull Snake and Numerous others...
I'll get some photos of some of the skins up this evening.
Thank You for looking,

Gus, I have some hill cane left. Let me see what I have and I will PM you. I like different snakes than typical. Ones with interesting color and/or patterns or just plain in some cases.

Gus, I'm going to back off this trade if you don't mind. The stave is so reflexed it will cost too much to ship. Thanks though.

Howdy Y'all,
If you have sent me a PM needing skins, I haven't forgotten about you.
I've had a bunch of trade requests and I'm working my way through them in the order I received them.
Still have plenty of skins, of various species.
