Title: Inlay work on risers
Post by: Luzern Guthrie on June 21, 2016, 05:40:00 PM
Hello, Brush Wolf
On your topic A couple in the works, someone ask how you made the inlays on your risers and I didn't see any reply. Is this something you would perfer not to tell anyone or did you reply under a new topic? I think it is real nice and would like to try it on my next build if you would be willing to share your method.
                                  Thanks

It takes some time to do it, but the payoff is awesome

Nice build.  :cool:  
That is something I have to try.  I have spent countless hours looking at bows online, never gets tiring.

I think I might have pm them on the topic. But can't say for sure it's been crazy here for a while now. I basically do what Mark said. If you have any problems just shoot me a pm.
