I am starting a new riser for my goto bow. I made that Osage riser and four sets of limbs about 6 years ago. I figured it’s about time I made a new riser for some of the other limbs. We will see how this goes....its my first in quite some time so I am going to go slow. The Osage is 15” but I am going to try a 13” for this new one. Big thanks to KennyM for the Bocote block!

Bocote is one of my favorite woods. I think it's gonna look amazing.

That Osage darkened so nicely. Can't wait to see the bocote. I like that forward handle design too.

What is the length of the new riser?

I really like the design.

The new riser will be 13”.

Finally getting to work on this one. I have limbs on and will start final shaping the riser soon. Feels good so far. Will be 54” and should end up around 48@28”.

That shorty riser looks cute. Can you tell what length the working limb is..? That is from the end of the riser to the string nock.

I don't want to run the topic into the ditch, but I just gotta ask; Is there a standard limb pad angle for various riser lengths?

Lewis Brookshire III · « **Reply #9 on:** November 04, 2018, 09:08:25 PM »

I have only made a handful of limbs and risers so I am not sure about a “standard” but this one is 23 degrees.

Final shaping is done. Next up will be applying a finish.

Good looking riser, it looks great the way it is without finish, should really pop with finish.

Lewis Brookshire III · « **Reply #14 on:** November 24, 2018, 05:51:23 PM »

Finally finished up this bow....it only took 2 years, lol. 54” 3pc Static tip Recurve 48@26”. Solid Bocote riser, limbs are Bamboo cores with Bocote veneers. Osage overlays on the limb butt and tips. Shoots like a dream.

That finished up beautifully.

Very pretty

Finish really brought that riser to life. Very nice!!!

Don’t know that I’ve ever seen bocate have such straight grain as the off side of that riser.

Awesome!! Bocote is such a pretty wood!
