The headstock inlay design was gleaned from a Native American Omaha tribe design. In the center is an abalone diamond surrounded by four mother of pearl "m"s. The design has significance because of it's Omaha connection and "M" is the family's initial. The pieces were cut with a jeweler a saw, temporarily glued, outlined with a xacto knife, removed, routed to a proper depth and glued. A small watch gear was inlayed into the heel cap to pay homage to their watchmaker father.
