Making a new riser

[Lewis Brookshire III]

Thanks again for the riser block Kenny!

Awesome!!  Bocote is such a pretty wood!

Yes sir, you did a fine job on it!

That is exactly the style I would like to try to build for my project this off season, in the same specs!

Very nice work..

That looks good. The only thing I see you may or may not have trouble with is the limb butt overlays. You would be surprised at how much the limb flexes right off the riser. So keeping the overlays shorter will prevent them from popping up over time.

Thanks, I will keep an eye on them. Actually I am not very happy with them and might sand them off at some point anyway.

I make mine at least .030 and thinner is better and pre shape the fade area before gluing. and smooth on is the best.
