Normally I like shaped inlays, but with the amount you're trying to fit, it would force everything to be even smaller, don't think it makes sense here.

I'm not sure yet either. We will see once the inlay is further along. Again the inlay was a VERY rough draft. I want to try moving the goose up and the words under.

Love shaped inlays, but they are tough to make look right.

I agree... the drastic limitation of inlay size is tough to get around imo

For me also.. Canarri is too light and pale
DG is light and pale. Canary is darker.
DG Yellow on the left, Canary on the right. (Paulson in the center, but not sure which yellow)

Fantastic example of the CPC Yellows!! I have decided to go away from yellow all together. This is where i am right now with the set. Probably wont do the .50¢ lavendar but have it in there as a possible addition down the road.
My main advice is take your time. Many great sets take months, even years to complete and tweak.. I spent about two years on my Fat Tire build, and I went through so many changes and iterations, I can't imagine what I'd have gotten had I rushed...
Also, don't be swayed from yellows, if that's your wish. I think CPC yellows can't compare to Paulson, but it shouldn't be a comparison. CPC yellows can look vibrant, but it depends greatly on the contrasting spot colors you use. Here are my canary chips in both my FT sets.

Absolutely and thats excellent advice. Hell i just finished my order with CPC that i started designing over 15 years ago with ASM. Anyways, there is no rush in this one either as Scroll Mold is in production right now so we are about a year out. I do want to make that deadline though for next years run. Im pretty much at peace with my current color/spot selection. I know exactly what u mean by changing i have made probably 6 changes in the last 48hrs...lol. The yellow wasn't a huge deal either. I plan on that chip being the $20 so it seemed like an obvious choice to try a Yellow. I have no problem marking the Green chip a $20. Thank you for the excellent Canary examples in your sets. I do have a Canary $20 planned on my next tournament set for certain. Im going to start focusing on the inlay here soon.

Thank you very much for the kind words. I am going to work on finishing the inlay here soon. It is a fairly good rough draft but i think i need someone to fine tune it and give it some finishing touches.
If I could add ONE color to CPC's repertoire it would be the exact yellow in the center.
CPC's dg yellow has just the slightest hint of green in its tinge; while, their canary is dingy on the rolling edge given the brass flakes. IMHO they have no good yellow unless one is ok with dg arc yellow in their set (which is yellow-orange, but a stellar color).

Damn....hard to go with a CPC yellow with that Paulson comparison in between them!
I think the lighting is at play there, it’s a bit brighter to me; still, more fall than spring. It’s definitely not as bright as Paulson or the historic TRK yellow.
