People would take exception to the inlay? Really? If an item is for a client or relative then any personalization that doesn’t effect the structural integrity and that is in good taste is a good thing isn’t it?
I like it. and your inlay is a cool way of being distinctive. I’m 54 and I’d like it if I was into the same sport.

I think it looks great and I think the inlay is a really nice touch.

WOW!! From me! That’s outrageous man! The shadow is a killer, I mean that in a good way. Nailed it!

-- mtnwild (Jack), It's not what you see, it's how you see it.

Keith, I thought this looked pretty good before but the inlay adds an interesting detail to the box. And I am sure the recipient will love it since you have personalized the box specifically for him.
