persimmon?

[Shawn Rackley]

i was wondering if persimmon makes a good bow riser? if so does anyone know where i might be able to get a piece big enough for a riser to send to a bowyer?

Very good for a riser.  They make golf club heads out of it.  Here is one I made.

I have some that are in selfbow stave form. I'd be glad to cut you off 25" piece but you'd have to find someone to cut it down to your desired size and width. You can pay the shipping and I can send it out whenever!

Let me know if you're interested.

I'll have it for a long time. It is dry and cured. Shipping should be under $10.00. Just let me know when you're ready!
