I just finished this one for a friend, #003. All materials are from Kenny to whom a big thanks is due. The riser is Zebra/Walnut/Zebra w/Maple accents. The limbs are Maple w/Zebra wedges and black glass. I was shooting for 50# and hit 47#@28".

Tried a different style 3-piece for me I'd only made belly mounted limbs before. So far I like how it came out. Fiddleback maple and rosewood riser, Limbs have lams made from old maple gym flooring with black glass, timber rattler skins, and buffalo horn overlay. 64" 44lbs at 28". I like to keep some of the snake skin texture it just seems more real to me that way. BTW thanks 4nolz for the skins, I made this for a friend at work and he is stoked over those skins. My work isn't pro quality but I have fun.
