BB,

It depends on the size of the rattler, but a very distinctive hatband comes to mind ... especially if the rattle is left on ... that way, every time you turn your head, people will take notice ...*S*

But I am only half kidding ... a rattlesnake skin DOES make a nice hat band ... have seen them and wished they were mine ....

TTFN,
My moniker is my great grandfather's name. He served with the 2nd Florida Mounted Regiment in the Civil War. Afterward, he came home, packed his wife into a wagon, and was one of the first NorteAmericanos on the Frio River southwest of San Antonio ..... Kinda where present day Dilley is ...

I have made several holsters and knife sheaths with inlaid rattler skin
