Hi,
Anybody know where I can get some small pieces of snake skin, to use for a butt wrap.

Sure, it was right there in the RodMaker article:

frank I found the snake Den a little pricey compared to buying on @#$%&. Also, I just bought from a place called Sugar Mountain address 6574 North state road 7 suite #206
Pompano beach florida 33073
Very professional and they have diamond back rattlesnake, boa. and more. They seem to be used some how to make guitars so don,t overlook sources for music. Any questions e-mail me i do have more sources then that. Billy

I've found several that I'm happy with on @#$%& for not much money. There's a demand for the larger skins as display items and they're often used for certain leather craft items too such as belts and hat bands. The larger ones cost more due to the demand. I've managed to find shorter, inexpensive pieces that are of little value for making belts and larger leather items but are quite suitable for making real seats, etc. The only problem with @#$%& is that it's hit or miss; there are sometimes several items available and at other times there's nothing. Of course, you still need to win the @#$%& too. If you're patient, you can find a bargain. If you need the assurance of knowing that you will have what you need when you need it, then dealing with someone who trades in those types of items is he way to go. You'll only need one unless you plan on using a lot of it; one snake skin of decent size makes a lot of reel seats.

www.cuesmith.com ~ Very good quality snake "skins".

www.cuestik.com ~ Very good quality exotic "skins."

Both have good instructional materal that will help get a "skin" on "RIGHT."

Most of the pool cue "parts" manufacturer sell "skins" that are usually of higher quality than "hobby or craft" stores and they are usually cheaper.

Hope this doesn't violate the rules about advertising.
