Its odd looking. Does not look like a air bubble, it's rectangular. It also looks like its interrupting a dark line running parallel to it. Is the glass making a extreme bend at its edge there? Also looks like a rough finish on the wood, or maybe it has a coarse grain?

Since everyone else is throwing out WAGs. I’ll add mine.  :biglaugh:

Looks like the glass has compression damage. That is close to center, where the most pressure would have been while glueing on the thick overlay.

You may be right, my hunting bow took a whack to the corner and has a white spot on it....
Stay sharp, Kenny.

Bear in mind I am not always right. It appears that whatever we are looking at there is no glue or the glass would be dark there like the rest of it. An air bubble from the side will appear like that. Anyhow I think it will be ok. Now Roy on the other Maybe not   :laughing:

I think this is a very good possibility! I tried sanding and applying thin ca glue and it seemed to make no difference at all. The final finish is now on. Here in a couple days I will look it over again. I will probably mark it lightly and just keep a good eye/ear on it. Thank you all so much for your insight!

I’ve done a poor job of contributing to the forum (mostly due to my feeling of lack of experience). I intend to do better in this area. Thanks again.

Nathan
