This is the design I decided on for my riser. Although straight in the picture the accents will be radiused in the riser. I'm about to lose my patience waiting on my new bandsaw blades to come in the mail so I can get started on this thing.

Nearly done. 61#@28" 62" NTN. Tiger wood and lacewood. Maple core. Just needs clear coat. This pic is the riser under super glue.

Ugh. Let me try again.....

Hopefully, I'll be able to shoot it with clear this week after work. Then I'll get her shipped out to my victim, Mr. X. Somewhere back east...

Hey I feel left out... Maybe I should have took my time with this and stretched it out a bit... Does anyone else need a bow???

NEED?.... Is it ever really a need?

Ok, I am putting the finish on my victims bow but I decided to shoot a few through it in between coats. Just the break the lull around here I thought I would record one shot for posterity and share it with y'all.
