Anyone ever used clear glass for accents? I'm fixing to start a new bow for me and will be using a dark walnut with a lighter claro walnut for the riser and was thinking about using clear glass for the accent between each piece. So one piece will kinda float into the other. Clear glass and sheep horn overlays. Any thoughts?

Got any dark tip overlays against clear glass you can look at? might tell you if you like the look, seems like it just looks dark, but might be just what you are looking for too.

I see what you mean Kenny. I just want to do something a little different on this one. I think the sheep horn over clear glass for overlays would look really cool. Just not sure about the clear accents

Never used it as you intend, but have used it as first layer on nock overlays which makes the second darker [red or black] 'float' above backing glass on back of bow, if you get my garbled sentence.

I think it would just appear to be black or nearly black. Clear glass is clear because from front to back, the we normally look through it, there isn't much actual glass. From rom side to side, however, there is a lot...
I dig the idea of floating overlays though Bob
