WDB Handles.....
Permalink  

OK Guys.....Here is something I want to share with you all.....if you want to do a snakeskin handle, this is what it should look like..both top and bottom...

The top as you can see has a great diamond design....I left the scales on....

The bottom is plain..as you can see, there is barely a seam....this is your goal...barely a seam...or no seam...it takes practice...

This is the Diamondback Rod that I donated for the Youth Camp Auction at Triple Cross Cowboy Church in Lipan,Texas...


ML~~
