builing a take down riser
« on: July 29, 2012, 08:47:00 PM »
Hi all, I am new here and have a few questions for the experts out there. I am going to build a take down riser for my son. i have an extra set of limbs that would be perfect for him but he shoots left handed and i don't. Hence the build. My plan is to use some wood that I have lying around. Since this is my first attempt at this I want to keep it inexpensive. The question I have is whether or not the wood I am using would be suitable. My plan is to use some oak (from an old church pew) with accents of some cedar or teak (about 1/4" thick) or possibly both, i happen to have lying around. I was also wondering whether or not I should use some glass for additional strength. Oven is already built and I am ready to get started. Any input happily accepted!

I think you will be fine using the oak you have. it is surly cured out over the years and the accents will set it off, Go for it and post some pics

Good Luck
