Title: "Sneaky Snake" snaked (pics)
Post by: ber643 on September 11, 2007, 08:35:00 PM

Some of you folks will, I'm sure, remember the beautiful, glossy Osage stave character bow Dano made for me. I decided to start the season with it this year and the beauty is too glossy to not perhaps flash a deer at the wrong moment. Since time was short, I at first just put a coat of paste wax on it without buffing it out. It did cut the shine down some but, not enough, with as glossy as Dano had made it. I decided to try some Limbsations, from Onestringer, (a sponsor). Not only do they do the trick but it was extremely easy, and looks good too, I think. The best part is, it is easy to remove them after the season and go right back to the gloss beneath, if I want, or perhaps get real skins put on. These are in the Canebrake pattern:

Looks great with those on. If you hadn't mentioned it I would have thought they were real.

Thank you all. I was pretty impressed with them too - and Scott and Mindy are great folks, it seems to me, and give extra good (and friendly) service too.
