Bj-S I love the color contrast of the woods. Very nice.

I do believe it's official, While waiting on my leg to heal, I have reached the end of the internet.

Goodlooking bows being made.

Finally getting to build myself a bow. It's a 19" riser instead my normal 17" to make a 63" bow. Got everything roughed out today, should have it shooting tomorrow.

How did you come up with a 63” bow? Kirk

Sounds very scientific...

Looks Great, although I'm not crazy about straight accents... We had a small discussion about straight accents and riser failures a few months ago... What woods did you use?? Would like to see standard 3 pics of it unbraced, braced and 28" draw...

4 Point, I like it! What weight is it drawing?

Shredd, straight accents have been used for ever. I make sure my insert goes thru all the laminations in the riser. As long as the glue lines are good a laminated riser should be stronger than a single piece of wood. It’s ebony and Tasmanian Blackwood. I’ll get some braced pics when I get it finished up.
Hillbilly, it’s 55 at 31”

Nice Travis!! 55@31 should be enough for those elk!

Looks good 4point! Reminds me of the massive risers Dale Dye use to make. Somebody resurrected an old thread about him. Been thinking about what he did in the tiny shop he worked in. He also used straight accents, without issue.
