Well THAT did it! i gotta do something with it now. i think I've been sitting on it for two years now.

What have you got going for reinforcement in this riser Steve? did you slip a hidden i beam under that purdy wood somewhere? or is it in the accent strip alone?

Kirk, I honestly don't remember. Been too long bro. Probably not an I beam in it. I used I beams in some and not in others. Honestly don't know. Sure it could use one . I don't care for any riser not having an I beam now. Unless its heavy actionwood and I have even seen one or two of those develop cracks in the shelf area over time.
Phenolic I beam should be an industry standard IMHO.
God bless you, Steve

actually i was talking about THIS bow having an I-Beam.

Do you have any photos of the back and belly of this riser?....

Man this came out sweeeeet looking....It's almost as purdy as my paradox walnut Talon II, but of course i'm kinda partial to it. [goldtooth]

Kirk,
Steve did use a phenolic I-beam in this riser. There is a pic of the finished back and belly on page one, if that is what you are looking for.

I won't build a custom without it. The Hunter will have an eighth inch laid in sideways for the stripe but no I beam. I will only build it with actionwood. All the customs have a full depth I beam.

God bless you all, Steve

-

the black stripe in the end of the riser is the I beam. It is uncut 1/4in and runs uncut through the entire riser.

God bless you, steve

I love that bow! The Koa is as stunning a wood as I've seen. Well Done Steve! [clapper]
