I like what you have done with the inlays I think it looks great. It looks like a lot of work, but looks like it was worth it. And I'm having fun with it I hope others have fun with the challenge as well. MB

Billy, I think the front grip really sets off the rest of the grip. Great work on it. MB

It should be illegal to change an entry in your own "contest"..15 yards!!!...I like these clean patterns so much more than the characturers (sp?) synonimous (sp?) with EVA grip inlays. BC can do 3D mermaids, and your "renesaince" is the best inlay ever...but this style is great for me.

Fantastic work Billy. I missed this one first time around. That weave really is something else.
