So I tried the dowel trick today without any luck... So I just ordered up a new riser block. I have the general concept of how to shape the riser so I will start again later this week. Stay tuned

You could add some wood blocks or wood strips to the top of form to make up the gap.

That's what I said, kind of
Adding wood to your form is the way to go
I do it when needed
I think other people do to.
Riser block cost money
scrap wood is free
I would rather fail at something above my means, than to succeed at something  beneath my means

Try adding wood to the top of the form above the rise and fades.

Or alter it to a rubber band form. Solves the immediate problem and allows variations in the riser on future builds
