I'm really not a fan of rear mount limb systems.  They just look ugly to me.  (Sorry Black Widow fans)  But this one with that small riser actually looks pretty good to me.  The aggressive static tips look pretty cool too.  I'm actually also a one piece guy specifically because I don't like the mass weight of 3 piece bows, so your wood riser bows might be just right.  So that's two bow "styles" that I don't normally like that I think could work for me on this one.  I'd say definitely build more like it.

The riser is shaped alot different from your other bows. Does this have anything to do with the material?

Wow those limbs must be a challenge to build. I would love to see your limb form just for fun and a draw force curve to see how the statics behave. Glad to see that you are still tinkering while on hiatus from custom bow building!

The different riser shape really doesn't have anything to do with the G10, just a few changes I've been evolving. Less deflect for one for a longer power stroke, longer shelf to give a little more protection from fletching contact on the hand, shelf is still right on top of the hand just an extended shelf. And then the ends of the riser have a bit different shape/angle. Been making a few minor mods but I think this one is pretty well what I want.
I'll post some pics of my forms. May still make some minor changes to the limbs. They're not hard to build as long as you use the right material to stabilize them torsionally which I plan to change up a little to be able to extend the recurve while retaining sufficient stability.

The GrayGhost is no match for the TimberGhost.

Oh, how I long for a TimberGhost...

Have only experienced stringing challenges on a most agreessive static tip that was 60"s...62@28.

My statics which run from 56 to 62"s and from 42 to 54#s string quite easily.

Developing an improved technique for stringing heavier draw weights would be required of myself. personally

very cool! can I ask where you purchased the G10? I would love to build a riser from it as well.

Thanks for any information you would be willing to share!!!
