Annnd another! Slightly different riser design

[bornofmud]

Been popping them out lately! Had to hurry on this one to finish it before I leave to visit family for xmas. It is a gift for the customer's dad.  Aiming for 35# at 29", have yet to put a string on it.  This one is 60" with .005 taper and p-lam, tip wedges.  

I changed the riser a little from the last one, I made the cuts through the back shallower and flatter to give it a bit more of a td longbow look rather than the more exaggerated lines on the first.  Also moved the peak on the top of the riser from the arrow shelf to where the window cut starts.  I'm very pleased with it, and will use it as my standard riser unless I can think of anything else to change haha.  PICS!

Dang I really like how you shaped the riser.  That looks sweet.

[beachbowhunter]

I like it too. It has a sort of Acadian Woods riser shape to it.

Thanks guys!!  I was actually looking at Kirk's (sasquatch bows) takedowns for inspiration. Really pleased with how it came out, got the overlays on and the tape off now, I'll take some pics today or tomorrow!
