  You did a great job holding the profile on that bow. Vine maple can be a little like hickory and start taking set. Excellent job!

Great looking bow!  Strange looking snake skins.  What type?  Probably a snake not in the deep south.  Is the white painted or bleached?  Great mix with the colors.

The skins are broad banded water snakes from Texas.  The color of the wood is natural vine maple.  I didn't use any bleach or dye on it.  I made it for a target bow so I didn't mind the bright color.

Great looking bow! What a color combo. I love seeing these vine maple bows. Vine maple is a bear to work with, but it sure is a gorgeous wood.
