I don't often get hickory with snake but this one was a dandy. It is 50 @ 28 and sinew and snake backed going to Shawn Webster.

Looks great, can you show us more?
LOL.......thank you! Didn't mean to rush ya!
WOW, that's a sweet looking bow
Only problem I would have with that bow would be to fall asleep and wake up screaming like a little girl that a snake has slithered up and took the place of my bow.
Looks Great!!
That thing looks alive in the last pic :)
That is ridiculous. Unreal, so lifelike, got a cousin who would not even walk into the room where it was laying.
Beautiful work Mike.
I sure like that bow buddy. :bigsmyl:

Man, thats a neat bow!!
Don't think my family would let that one in the house.
I love it
Wow! Very unique :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I love it too! I love Shawns quillwork.
very nice
Keith, Shawn is as good as they get when it comes to quillwork. He is making me a neck knife sheath.
That's a beaut Mike!!! Never seen a "snakey" hickory stick before. Most of mine are pretty straight.
Sweeeeeeet!

I have some real snakey osage that would make some real nice bows. They are 64 1/2 '' long and most have the bark and sapwood off and ready to work. They can be ordered off of my website www.pinehollowlongbows (http://www.pinehollowlongbows) and put a message that you want one of the snakey ones.
That's really unique to find hickory like that, Mike. I wonder which species it is? You really made the most of that piece of wood. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Cheers, Matt
PS- wouldn't mind having that stack-o-sage in my back yard!!
Beautiful Bow!
That hickory bow is stunning! And your stack of osage is some good looking stuff.
Also, talked with Jack Walling today. He's doing great!
Sweet!
