I like the white shell. Its an extra something without being too flashy. I think the other would be great on one that's all gussied up. It is a beautiful piece of something-or-other.

Also thinking the white one works better here. Save the other piece for something really exotic. It looks like a piece of Paua shell. I have a baggie full of Paua pieces, and some really thin adhesive backed veneer pieces, too. An array of different sized 'dots'. I'm still looking for a place to use 'em. ;)

Something about the white catches my eye to but the other sure is perty. Either one looks great my eye just sides with the white.

I like the white too bud. Imagine what that Osage will look like in 5 years or so. That white will really pop then! Patrick

Plus 1 for white. Pretty unanimous so far.

Well, since I hunt, I prefer leather. I've found materials like horn, etc. to be too loud on the draw and release. Jawge
