Crooked stic, I think it’s Walnut, at least that’s what I got a lot of.
Roy; :laughing:Yep, aiming for some trees.
Did you and Kenny stop by cause you smelled Liver and Onions cooking?

Carpdaddy · « **Reply #1332 on:** May 12, 2021, 03:28:59 PM »

Well after some Crooked stic’s comment, then some sawing and filing, I’m starting to re-think my wood, I may have grabbed a chunk of Cherry. Not sure
What do you all think?

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #1333 on:** May 12, 2021, 03:56:09 PM »

That piece in the saw pic looks like quartersawen sycamore. The last pic looks kinda like cherry. That the same piece?

Ellie May look like a Ninja in that pic

I had so many pieces of walnut that I didn’t really look close, just grabbed it. But I think you are correct, probably Cherry. Never made a riser from it, I’m hoping it’s okay or strong enough!

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #1335 on:** May 12, 2021, 07:30:45 PM »

Gonna depend on the weight of the bow. A couple of pieces of glass on the back of the riser would be good insurance.

Flem · « **Reply #1336 on:** May 12, 2021, 08:37:52 PM »

That don't look like Walnut. Cant you intdentify wood by smell? Close your eyes next time you are cutting some on the tablesaw, it will heighten your olfactory senses.

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #1337 on:** May 12, 2021, 09:34:02 PM »

I would also reinforce walnut in a riser also.

Carpdaddy · « **Reply #1338 on:** May 12, 2021, 09:45:46 PM »

Okay definitely Cherry. I didn’t go and pick it out thinking it was Walnut, I had a piece of Walnut standing in a corner for months planning to do this. What I didn’t remember was that a friend had found the piece of wood I used in his late father’s barn. He didn’t know what it was but thought I might could use it. I stood it in the same place and forgot about it. I just grabbed it being in front and went at it! I should have wondered why it was wider, I had measured the Walnut at 1 1/2” wide, forgot! I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer! (Easy Roy). Anywho, it is pretty soft, I thought my bandsaw blade was doing quite well!

Well I found the Walnut I was planning to use, right where the Cherry was!
My concern is if it is strong enough? I had plenty of phenolic but didn’t use any planning a light riser. Be hard to change now with inserts and pins installed. The bow is about 42# at my draw. Guess time will tell.

Go for it before ya forget where ya laid the riser down:)
