30-06 Tru-shell™ nickel plated Sand Rattler

[seamus7227]

This is a new type of snake for me. My snake killer calls it a Sand Rattler, I've heard it called another name, like Mosaga. Anyway, what ever it is, the pattern is awesome and they dont get any bigger than about 18-23 inches, which means great pen blanks! I skin it, flesh it, and tan it, then cast in PR and turn and MM to 12000(wet sanding).

Thank you for viewing!

Comments, critiques welcome~!

Seamus, that is one of the nicest cast skins I've seen. Great pen all around.

Gents, Thanks for the great comments! I agree, the small scales do look nicer than the larger ones. I hope more come slithering my way!:knife:Whack!

This one really stands out Seamus! the snake looks great with the 30-06 case what cal bullet did you use it looks good, also well done with your blank prep and casting first class job all round.

That sure is a beauty. Great looking skin. Nicely Done.

I just noticed the "tm" does that mean it's official? You got your own trade marked name?
