Geez Bill, don't leave that bow laying in the grass or you might have a hawk attack it.  Really nicely crafted bow.

Bill, I remember that stave now.  It was one I wanted to keep.  I'm going to need that one back.    ;D

Great job Bill!  Awesome looking snaky bow.  That one looks like it could crawl off!

Great looking bow, I especially like the grip work. Why rawhide backed? Just curious as I am just finishing my first very snakey bow and it gave me grief the whole way with checks wanting to run off the limb even though I followed the grain. I should have backed mine with rawhide, but I ended up putting on a bandaid.

Thanks, Guys..........
rps3,  the rawhide is insurance only ....just wanted to make sure it held together. The stave had a couple of spots that were suspect. 
Thanks again,

Super nice Dbar! I'm not really into snakey bows  ::) but if I were that would be the apple of my eye! Very nice work bro!

  Nice work DBar...I noticed the nice detail of the skins near the tip and sides also, good work and nice bend...
