guess i should include specs..  50#@28"  60" NTN coco and walnut riser.  13 degrees of deflex out of the riser about 3/4 net deflex.  

I think the riser shelf is the only strait line on it!! thanks for the comments guys.  it finishing was a pain!!!  took it to 1000 grit wet then hit it with polishing compound and wax, thought the riser deserved that!
