I can shave some more there, alsoon back closer to brass bezels. will give a bit more sight window too.

Yes, it is 17" so must be medium limbs.

So what is the scoop on how to measure an ILF riser? I just took measurements off this guys Morrison.....

Waaay over my pay grade brother. I'd tell ya "nice job" but I have no idea whatcha did. I was raised to believe ya'll were slower than that on the other side of the river. I think I was lied to.. Good work Kenny.

You measure the length between the center of the limb bolts and add 5" for the amount length of your bow.

I’m a long ways from being any kind of expert on anything, but that looks like a fantastic ILF riser to me. I have 5 or 6 risers from different makers..........that looks as good if not better than most I think you did a fantastic job........

Thank You Ron! It's been a learning process!

I think you nailed it.

Kenny it really looks nice. But here are my thoughts bro. Overall I like it. Only thing I would do is round off those sharp corners on the belly side of the riser. I like a sleek smooth transition on the riser. But that's just what I like.

But you did excellent dude.

Duuudeeeee I love the front view profile, I'm totally gonna steal that a bit if you don't mind lol

Thanks guys! I struggled with the look, but after consulting with the guy who wanted it, he picked a couple bows he liked the looks of and I sorta adapted to that. Also you gotta stay away from the hardware in there some.

He is liking the looks of it and he is the one that counts! I like it too.....

And steal away!! There aren't any totally new ideas in bows.

How does the limb alignment work out at the end?

kennym · « **Reply #72 on:** February 10, 2018, 12:04:00 PM »

Worked great! The brass dovetails have a smaller dovetail than the ones my limbs came off of so only 2 turns adjustment. Other than that , great!

I had brass bushings that had a set screw in them, but the blackwood was so hard I bought #10 set screws and a tap for them and just tapped the wood. Less visible too , so win/win.

Got a couple coats of finish on it, would like to keep it, it is sweet!!

I guess it's Ok..

Looks nice. I bet the riser has pretty good mass with the blackwood and bocote.

Pretty darn snazzy for the first Kenny.

That’s pretty dang sweet Kenny!!!

kennym · « **Reply #78 on:** February 11, 2018, 03:49:00 PM »

Other than the installing the hardware again and the quiver bushings, this one is done!
