Title: snakskin source
Post by: jmar595 on November 03, 2014, 10:50:00 PM

Where is a good source for rattlesnake skins? I have a self bow I made along time ago and want to actually finish it. I want to back it with rattlesnake and put horn tips and a leather grip on it. It is just time to do it. Does anyone know a good place that is reasonable?

Thanks. Looks like a good deal. I will just have to see if they will be long enough.
