thanks guys...I made the riser for a big hand because my friend has big hands.  He makes crosses out of cedar for his hobby so I decided to try a inlay of a cross.  It was my first attempt at that. I learned a lot on this one...but I am pleased for my second bow...

Barry,


         Really nice work. The Cross inlay sets that bow in a class by itself. Your friend is going to really appreciate your workmanship.

                                                              Good Shooting,
                                                                          Craig
