Title: Cloth Sankeskin Backing from Pine Hollow
Post by: NYRON on January 06, 2015, 02:54:00 PM
Has anyone tried the cloth, snakeskin-patterned backings being offered by Pine Hollow? They look like a reasonable alternative to real snakeskin.

I'm thinking of using them to dress up a set of ILF limbs.

If you have used them, please let us know what method you used to apply them and how they turned out. I'm especially curious to know how they might work on fiberglass limbs. It seems that cloth might be too thick/bulky for fiberglass, but I'm not sure.

Thanks,
Ron

A buddy of mine backed a bow that he built with linen. The snake skin pattern should look really good.

I used them on my Osage self bow and would definitely use them again not sure how they would work on glass limbs though.
