The first photo is a bow we put a snake skin backing on it, the bow is 60 inches and one skin covered it. It was a green skin, no preserving it. It was fleshed and applied to the bow with only hide glue. When everything dried I took the scales off the skin like scaling a fish when this was done I put a coat of urethane on bow and skin and that was only thing that was done. This snake was found in my yard between house and shop, may have let him go if he had not have been in yard. It was a Timber or canebreak rattler.

Very nice work. I'm glad we don't have snakes like that crawling around. An interesting fact for those who don't know about the eastern part of SD, is that we have no poisonous snakes or spiders where we live. You have to travel west to The Missouri before they start showing up.South Dakota
