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.

Did a little wood burning in the handle.

 

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.      

Tracy

Man, thats a neat bow!!

Don't think my family would let that one in the house.

I love it

Wow! Very unique        

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  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!!
