The riser is spalted maple, marinated in Coors light:) Jeff, I've never had a riser pop off yet in 12 years. By the time I get the riser/facets blended in, most if not all of that 1/4 inch will be gone. Like I said above, this is the first time I took the end of the riser to a taper prior to glue up. 4 Coors lights made me do it. LOL

The Osage belly is 1/4 sawn with very little grain run out. No power lam, I keep the 6 inches from the flares out as wide as the flares are, then do a straight taper to the tips. That makes that area a little stronger.

Sister McKenzie, your back on the thumping list.

Roy - what are your starting thicknesses of the core lams?

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #23 on:** October 12, 2014, 02:47:00 PM »

3/16th at riser to 1/8th at tips.

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #24 on:** October 12, 2014, 02:50:00 PM »

Boo is 1/8th at riser to 1/16th at tips. Osage is 3/8th at riser to 1/4 at tips.

best.

Sweeeet! Love the curves and the spalted maple. I have a piece of osage and bamboo coming my way but I am thinking i may need a third piece to try the tri-lam. Would hickory be a good compliment to the osage?

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #37 on:** October 14, 2014, 11:01:00 AM »

Get walnut or red elm.

cunruhshoot · « **Reply #38 on:** October 14, 2014, 11:05:00 AM »

Will do...

Can't you get this thing done, suspense is killing us. Being retired you should have plenty of time. Bue--.
