The blueish green lines of the riser is just to give you a visual of what is going on.
The rectangle is a drill jig with drill bushings, drill 4 holes in you riser blocks.
The bottom 2 are sanding pattern, put 1 block on A with dowel pins and the other block on B, mark the the curved lines and cut on the bandsaw and pattern sand each, glue them back together and do it again.



Using 2 different kinds of wood make 2 at a time.
I did NOT use a drill jig for this one.
First round


Second round

Nice Templates Max, many different footings from those two. Kirk I also have a design with hooks just a little more than yours, it's my main hunting bow and it shoots great, can I assume you call that a recurve.

It does have character. When I clamped it for the accent I made sure the ends lined up side to side but the middle pat slipped a bit. So the layers kind of offset.

What kind of action wood are you using there Mike?   She's pretty colorful with that purple string accent too. :thumbsup:

Spectraply camo. And you can buy the single sheets in all the colors for accents.

I've used my CPAP air supply enough to say its functional. I was just using it while sanding Osage and P-heart, both of which will give me the flu if I suck in the dust. Woke up clear this morning :thumbsup:


I also have used it while spraying 2k clear. Had to move it out of the room. Discovered 3/4" CPVC is a perfect friction fit with the stock fittings. Still pumped enough air with an extra 15' of rigid pipe, that I could not smell any finish
Ooo, who, who hangs free

I milled another twin riser to that last one and got some limbs mounted this morning. The mill work on these things are a bit intense.

Nice bow Kirk.  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: I am wondering how you used the holes in both riser blanks pictured a few clicks back?

I made these pattern sanding jigs  6/7 years ago and made a few veneers back then.
I decided to make some more.
Cocobolo and Bocote


Glue up tomorrow
