[Mad Max]

[MoeM]

Awesome bow!

[jsweka]

Very nice Mike!  You could give Schafer some competition in the takedown recurve market    

[Mad Max]

Mike

[NYArrow]

Thanks everyone. When I put the antler in the grip I was wanting something to help with constant hand placement. When I inlayed it I let it stick up slightly above the rest of the grip. As far as a how to this was my first try at something like it. I'm not sure I would even be able to pull it off again. I cut out the shape on a piece of thin maple. I put it in the grip and rounded it with a dremal. After it was done I stippled the grip.
Here is a little better pic of it.

From tip to tip, absolutely perfect, your attention to detail is outstanding. Truly as fine as anything  out there.

I use a diamond burr bit. It is about a 1/16 ball. I like it because it more or less sands the dimple. Some of the cutting type bits can catch and makes a mess.     I just tried different bits until I found one that worked best for me.
