What do you guys think. Is cherry heavy enough and stable enough for a riser. Does it have enough density for a good riser. I was thinking solid cherry with yew limbs, the cherry will darken with age and the combination would look good. Opinions needed... good idea or not?
Thanks, Al

When taking about a riser are you referring to a riser for a take down bow, a riser for a one piece bow or a riser for a board bow? Cherry can be used for either of these but for the take down riser you will probably make it a laminated riser for extra strength. Depending on the poundage of the bow or how extreme the design is a glue line or two may be enough lamination. More info would help.

The cherry should be strong enough in that situation. The strength will be in the glass back and belly and the cherry is basically a filler for the handle area. I don't make glass bows so others with more experience might disagree with my opinion.
