Title: Partial Snake Skins Utilized...
Post by: wooddamon1 on October 03, 2011, 10:12:00 PM
Used the advice from a couple of you guys to dress up my Wapiti limbs with what was left over from skinning a longbow. Thanks!

Great job.  If I may ask, how did you glue the skin to the quiver???

Thanks guys! Mike, I lightly sanded the hood, used Tite-bond 3 on the skin after cutting to shape and basically worked it into position while it was tacky. Very easy to do. I then wiped on some Tru-oil (3-4 coats) then steel wooled it and sprayed a few coats of Helmsman exterior spar verathane on.

Looks almost better as an accent than full covering. The matching quiver really sets it off nicely.
