I really want to thank everyone for ther comments. It means alot coming from the talent I see in bows you build. I share these bows because it might inpire the new guys. I know I get new ideas from everyone. That just means one more bow to try.
Pappy I can't wait to climb that ridge and get into my tree stand with this bow.

Big A-

That's one of the nicest snake jobs I've ever seen. Sweet bow. Did you wrap the rattler skin or just glue it on and let it set? If you wrapped it, what with?

I just glued it and let it set. I soak the skins in warm water and then lay them on a towel to dry them for a few minutes. They are easy to work with now. Spread your glue ( Titebond III ) then lay the skin on. I line the center of the skin pattern to the center of the bow limb.I then start at the tip and slowy work my way down to the handle removing the air bubbles and getting a good glue contact. After an hour or so I start to rough trim the skin and recheck for air pockets. Then just let it dry good to do my final trimming, descaling and then the sealing. It is not hard. Just TAKE YOUR TIME.

I got to touch it and hold it several weeks back, haha ! Awesome Big A. I really hate it though cause it is a righty and not a lefty. Now that we got Mason armed to the teeth we gotta get me a lefty started. If ya'll run across some osage that has a natural cant for a lefty save it for me and tell me what I owe. I done went and got the yellow shavin fever ! It is all them Twin Oak boys fault too ! Hope you get a monster with that bow Big A, you deserve it bud.
