Author Topic: Starting a Footed Riser.... Holm-Made SPONSOR Member # 1997 posted                        Thanks for the info and the picture. Creativity isn't one of my assets. I'd not have thought of that.

Man it is hot working in the garage here today. Working on a jig to cut the angle for the limbs. This is my first TD. Posts: 1898 | From: St. Louis, Mo | Registered: Apr 2003  |  IP: Logged |  RayMO Contributor 2011 Member # 680 posted                    I thought I would update my progress. Here is a pic of a jig with the riser setting in it. The jig is used on a table saw for cutting the riser butt ends. Worked out well.

Looks like it's going to be a very nice bow. What woods are in the limbs? Mike Posts: 1699 | From: Canyon Texas | Registered: Feb 2004  |  IP: Logged |  RayMO Contributor 2011 Member # 680 posted                    The wedges are black walnut and the limbs are birds eye maple to match the riser. I used a little dye to tone the limbs down. The limbs are really cool looking. Don't know if it will be a shooter, but it should be a looker. Mo. Posts: 1898 | From: St. Louis, Mo | Registered: Apr 2003  |  IP: Logged |  BenBow Trad Bowhunter Member # 3544 posted                     Cool job RayMO! I'm using your idea to build a similar jig but with 2 different radius's so it will make a flair. Won't flip it over like you did though. Also going to work on mounting the jig on my spindle sander to make sure everything is smooth and true. Keep us posted I'm looking forward to pics of it finished. By the way what color dye did you use to tone down the maple? I used a torch to toast the fiddleback maple I'm using. -------------------- Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.

You can mix it as strong as you want. I would like to do a flair also, but Have not figured the two radius issue out for a jig. How do you do that. I can't do it free hand, need a jig of some kind. I have seen that burn on the fiddleback maple and it is way cool. Mo.

Should have time to work on it this week. Will try and use my CAD program to experiment with radius's, then try it on cardboard, before commiting to plywood.

Will have to lay it out on cardboard tomorrow to see if it will work. -------------------- Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.
