I will take a pic of one of my riser jigs that eliminates having to flip the block.

A pic of a riser profile jig. It does two things. 1 makes the same shape on all risers 2 Keeps limb pads on the same plane by eliminating the need to flip the riser for pad cuts.

Stic, will you not have to sand against the grain on one side? Does it work okay? Nice jig.

Bue I been doing this for years and so far so good. 60 grit belts
Early on I thought I could do this with a router until it ripped a chunk out of some Osage and hit the wall with authority.

Cool! Do you use a drill press or dedicated spindle?

I only do the pad side with the 6x80. The grip is shaped by spindle sander.
