Oh yeah been there, done that! Then I’d watch an episode of Tool Time with Tim the Tool Man Talyor to make myself feel better. :thumbsup:

LOL Mike.

Last week I replaced a 50 year old toilet that had new 3/4" flooring laid around it 6 years ago....

What a trip.

Got this roughed out this weekend and put a few arrows thru it. I'm very surprised for the first try of this design. Not sure i'm gonna change a thing. She's a shooter as well as being a sexy little thing!

Flem, it’s maple crotch wood that I stabilized. I’m fairly sure it is a soft maple but it sucked in a bunch of resin and has a lot of mass weight. I also stabilized the walnut but it didn’t take that much resin. I’m still a little worried about the strength of it. It seems kinda flexy. I didn’t radius the site window as much as normal because I’m worried about strength

Nice...  Looks great... Did you cut the tips back a little... The curves don't look as rounded as in the other pic?? Could just be the angle of the pic also...

That's a very attractive riser.  Are the wedges matching walnut?

Shredd, only changes I made was narrowing up the tips at the center of the hook and raised the brace a half inch. I think it’s just the pic angle
The wedges are walnut

Onetone, I cut it rite at center but I’m sure I cut it in a little while I radiused the sight window. I tried to leave as much mass in it as possible because I’m not sold on the strength of the wood I used
