O.K........I need a general opinion here on these two risers. Right after Compton I put in an order for my very own Stalker "Striker" Recurve built by South Cox. I was (and still am) up in the air about which riser I like the best. My wood choices were something that I have had in my mind for quite some time now. Cocobolo and Osage. Being the nice guy that he is, he said that he would build a riser "both ways" and let me choose which one I liked the best. I "thought" that would make the choice a little easier........but.........as you can see from the picture below, they BOTH look dang nice !!!
My intentions are to have the limb veneers match the side of the riser's wood on each side. In other words either osage on the belly side and cocobolo on the back side, or vice versa.
Choices.........choices.........choices
Give me some help here folks......PLEASE !!!
The sooner that I make my choice, the sooner he can start gluing up the limbs. Either way, this is gonna be one nice lookin' bow.
