(http://i1256.photobucket.com/albums/ii485/bigbob292/008.jpg)Here's the shot of the inlay Kenny, not a great shot though. Been getting the inspiration from the posts on here.Also did some chevrons on the other bow with the oak riser but not completely happy with them .Might post a shot later.

Great looking bows.  I like the name RAZOR, sounds deadly.

Classy looking bows you make there. Would you consider that a HH style bow?

Howdy RM. some of them would be my interpretation of a HH , ones I do with the riser only slightly 'Waisted' even though they do have a belly lam as well as the glass. Another type has similar dimensions but a palm flair. ie figure 8 looking from above.Some people , particularly females seem to prefer that type.I like 'em both but slightly prefer the 'waisted ' type.

Good Deal! They are some great looking bows... I keep tossing around the idea of making a HH bow.
