That's one of the issues with bocote - it's prone to cracks from seasonal changes in humidity. I have a bunch of bocote out in the shop and nearly every piece has a crack of some sort now.
One of my Hornes had similar issue shortly after it got here - Mark fixed it. They way he lays up his risers it's probably just cosmetic anyway, but give him a call.

Bocote and Ebony are 2 woods that are prone to "drying cracks" Shouldn't hurt the bow at all. Call Mark and talk to him.
