Great job! Hope my first comes out half that nice.

How long is your riser?  Glad you were not hesitant to really shape it. Super slim and shapely.

Did you use a jig on the riser flare or did you freehand?

beachbowhunter..its 18 inches long end to end.  I think that may be a little long compaired to what most do but I didn't know that until I already had it drilled. lol  Its an 1 1/4" wide.  I shaped all of the rider by free hand.
Thanks again for all the compliments everybody.
