Alright, so put in a lot of time refining the riser to make it fit the hand just right and cleaning stuff up. I decided to do black glass, macassar, and antler for my final overlays. Was a bit of a pain making the pieces for um, but after gluing up, here's what I had.
And after some sanding and dremel action. Still have some cleaning up to do on them, but all the shaping is done. Also, notice that I mostly got the lines in the window cut to line up. Was a bit tricky, but ended up mostly working just fine. Will be much easier to keep everything lined up next time as I will be sure to do the I beams before cutting the riser block.
And from a couple more angles! This is just about the finished riser, just have to do a whole lot of sanding now!
And I also shortened the tips by about a half inch each. They were just a bit outrageously long. Still long this way, but much less likely to break or catch on stuff.
And that's it for today! Will get some shots up of the brace and draw once I make a proper string for it, and will put some more once it's got a finish on it! Thanks for following!! Hope someone out there finds it useful!
