Yes I have. Just make your own 2 x 2 x however long you want and have at it. A buddy just did one with 3 sections, curly walnut on the outsides and osage inside. Looks very sharp.

A friend of mine made a riser for a set of Martin Hatfield limbs. He used the old riser as a template for angles etc.

You can use a single piece of wood.
This is curly walnut and osage.
