you changed your style a little on this one Roy
looks real nice. I'm working on a mosaic(Trux style) and it may end up in a leopardwood riser
Great job all !!

The white horn is cool Roy.

Dave,

That is a beautiful bow.

Roy,

Nice tip.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Re the inlay Trux, just used a scalpel initially to cut the outline and then various bits in a dremel.

Man, if all these bows are coming my way, I'd better get busy! Lol. Great job everyone! And I mean everyone. I haven't seen a bow yet, that I wouldn't be bragging about and proud to own!  

Should be making some progress on my swapper in about a week or so.
Plant a fruit or nut tree today, and have good hunting tomorrow.
