Risers can make a good source of knife handle material.

Are you looking for practical uses or more decorative/creative uses? I feel like you could do some pretty neat stuff with them.

Back in the 1970s, Bear Archery would sell returned bows with the limbs cut off at the fades.
They made very cool door pulls and stuff like that.
I have a longbow that the top limb blue up and I'm going to cut it off at the arrow shelf and I think it will be a neat walking stick.

I used a riser for the handle on my outhouse.
