I sent Darcy a Sea Snake skin that I bought off a Taxidermist some 20 years ago and asked Darcy could he come up with a lure covered in some of this skin.Here is the result.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The snake was an Olive Sea snake about 2mtrs long.When tanned it ended up a light blue/grey colour and Darcy added colour to it.Hope you like it.

I'm a bit disturbed by the last photo which seems to show a beautiful lure, sheepskin rug and some sort of cream in a dispensing container with the lid off......

That is some nice workmanship on that lure. Although I have to say, I hate snakes and that lure sort of creeps me out, just a little bit LOL

Yea keep your techniques secret Darcy!
I do remember tanning a big python years ago.
Of course I found this dead on  the road, seemed a shane to waste it!
Skin may just be hidden inthe back of my gun safe somewhere

Look what I found!

This part left is 850 x110 and 55mm
It was destined to become a tie 30 years ago!
Would look better on a lure today I recon
