That one turned out great Pappy!  I know that coral snakes are supposed to be native to our area but I don't think I have ever seen one in the wild.  They sure look good on your bow.

Cool looking bow Pappy!  Coral snake skins really add some great color.

Very nice. What is the Latin name for Dogwood? I wonder if it grows over here? Markus

Latin name is cornus sanguinea. I assume you are European - cornus sang. grows everywhere in Europe.



Oh yeah, Pappy - she turned out as a beauty. Fine executed in every detail with incredible skins.

Thanks guys, thanks simson for the proper name, we just call it Dog wood and it grows everywhere. Hard to find a good straight piece, it mostly grows short and stubby but once in a while you can find a good one especially in smaller trees. :)

Real nice!  you must have thought very highly of it to use the skins on it. Surely not something you get to see everyday.

That bow looks good in that coral snake skin.  Sweet bow.
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

That came out nice, Pappy! You have a once in a life time set of skins on that bow. Well done, sir.
