3c: Inlays and art for a Custom Landing Net

I really liked the craving and brass scrollwork on the flintlock rifles of past.  I was asked to design a net for a grandfather and came up with an inlay of a fish with an inset of the birth stones of his children.  Time past and I saw a board with an unusual area of color and grain.  I was inspired to transform that area into the stylized suggestion of a trout.   Price range: $100-$200 depending on design. 

Simpler ideas such as the addition of measurement marks,  can enhance the handle with less stress on the budget.
