    Interesting piece! I like the blend of skin with wood mount, very rustic.

    Ashford ............

    There is no skin. It is just one piece of wood that is carved to look like skin.

    Gene, .............

    I used the Pat Kennedy wood burning tips with my Colwood Super Pro II. Back in 1997 I bought the snake scale and fish scale wood burning tips. I have only done one fish wood carving. Slowly working on another one right now.

    Kerby, OK on the snake scale tip. I guess I have missed that one. Did not know Kennedy had that. I will need to go and look at that one. Really looks good. Thanks for the information Kerby.
