Holy cow that thing is sweet man!!  Love the look of the backing.  Those overlays are cut in pretty steep; have you had any issues with those coming off?  Good work!
Thanks,

Thanks Rob!  I've only had one break and that was due to inattention on my part.  I had several pieces laying about and glued on the wrong piece.  This made the grain of the overlay perpendicular to what it should be.  It still held up for awhile before it broke.  Once I determined the problem, I corrected it and have had no further problems.  Admittedly, I've only done tips like this on a half a dozen bows or so.  So it is far from what I would consider tried and true.  Time will tell.  Thanks again!  Josh

It's ok I guess....some turquoise really would have made it pop imho  >:D
Is this bow making a sickness? or the cure...
