So love that  I also love the ' embellishments' on your machine   No ' rattlers' where I am .

Maybe you have no rattlers but some of the snakes you do have , have stunning skins, they would make awesome sheaths

I really should give them a try  . The are available here in Oz.   I guess I just haven't given them much thought .  I do have some fish skins  that someone gave me , but nowhere near as nice as snake.  I've only used Cane Toad.  A Cane Toad skin sheath perhaps. They do have a nice texture.

Got some African bullfrog I whipped up a couple weeks ago. Think I got some cane toad here somewhere.

They are excellent   The texture in the first pic is identical to Cane Toad. They can also come in different colours too. But they ain't cheap . The tanning process is different to other leathers apparently,  to remove all of the toxins . 

I have to admit, you're giving me inspiration  and motivation 

Well done
