Title: Just skinned this
Post by: ranger 3 on June 23, 2009, 11:08:00 AM

I just put snake skins and a leather wrap on this bamboo backed bamboo flooring. The bow a friend made and I got the leather from Jeremy.

Man that looks slick Howard.  They end at the tips perfectly.  What kind of finish did you use on top of that?

Thanks it is about 10 coats of Spar Urethane, and they turned out the best I have done if I do say so myself. You can't even feel the edge of the skins, they look like they were painted on.
