Looks great!  You said "don't know why we can't use snake skins here".  What did you mean by that?

I think PK is talking about California not allowing real snake skins being used....could be wrong..... :-\

That ended up being a nice effect. Does the bow shoot well?

thanks :) I just found out its can't import snake skins into cali.
The bow shot good before I backed it gonna give it a few days to cure.
The bow is an Osage I made a year or so ago I'll post it again soon as I get a grip on it.

tHE ONION SKIN BAG works really well in conjuction with an airbrush. The effect of adding color with the airbrush makes it extremely realistic.

What a great looking "Kingsnake" bow! Careful it doesn't eat rattler or copperhead backed bows if you're at a shoot ;D

You named it "B. B." right?

That is really nice.  I have been using the onion sack for a template on several bows and then hand painting the scales.  Here is one.
