There has been quite a bit of interest lately in applying snakeskins, so I thought I'd share the set that I just completed for my bud 2Hats (Danny).
They are TT Black Max Carbons and will go on his Morrison ILF riser. I placed my metal Morrison ILF riser beside it just for kicks.

You know whats a shame.I can't even see them here at work,so I will have to wait till I get home to check them out on my computer.Nook ,,you're right my treestands aren't much higher than a round hay bale.lol.I relly am hoping for a nice yeller Timber to come rolling on by.I shouldn't say that since that is possible in some othe places we hunt.
A.S.......Thanks bud for all the hard work :thumbsup:

Snake skin limbs are awesome looking. I just bought a used Morrison Dakota with skinned limbs (copperheads) will be out of town all next week so won't see it for 10 days or so. I have a new appreciation for home.

SWEET >>> skins

Thanks guys! Now I just need a set of copperheads or canebrakes for my new ACS limbs.
It is a very time consuming job, but well worth it when it's finally complete.
-
Great job Allen on those limbs.

I think the reason you hear so much about them is because we got folks like you who keep posting these ridiculously gorgeous pictures of um :) .
Seriously, great looking skin job. Every time one of these threads pop up I am getting closer and closer to get some put on my Griffin.

Allen I want to see those ACS limbs when there done so I can make a decision to send my limbs to you. tom massaro
-
Wow! Those are sharp! Very nice work.
-
Great job.
-
Wow, you are a talented individual. They look perfect. Let us know when you start your skinning business I have one I'd like done now. ;)
-
What glue do you use to glue the skins one with?
I ask because I put skins on a recurve last year using TBII and topped with Super glue, and one of the limbs started coming loose when I unstrung it the other day. Not sure what I did wrong besides use the wrong glue maybe. Thanks

I'd like to have my truck done, Allen...you can do it next weekend; I'll park it in the shade :thumbsup:

A S those look great. i posted a while back on a different form asking how to apply skins properly, i got 2 responses saying they didn,t know, and one asking why i would put skins on a beautiful piece of wood. i said they look good,are one of natures best camos and they look better on a bow than under my feet. would you tell me the proper way to apply them? i would greatly appreciate it. it certainly looks like you know what your doing.
-
Thanks again guys. For those who are asking, here is a great tutorial that I have followed. The only thing I did different, was I did not use superglue over the skins (I had several folks say that had bad experiences with it). I applied the skins with Tite Bond III, then sealed the skins with 5 coats of Tru-Oil. To cut down the shine, I sprayed a couple light coats of Krylon Matte Finish. This stuff is awesome, it matches most bow finishes exactly and is really tough!
