For a lack of better term. I have some 7/8" thick walnut. I am thinking of laminated it up with a piece of maple in the middle. This will get me my 1 3/4" thick riser.
My only worry is will it be strong enough. I have done plenty of laminations width wise.. the s curves, stripes.. etc. But never have I done it the other direction.
So for a little clarification.. if you were to look at the front of the riser, or back.. you would see two pieces of walnut with a maple stripe down the middle.
Then I was going to add my s curve accents in it as well.
Hope some one has done this and can help me out.
Something like this?

Plenty strong and gives the site window a little different look.

Sure looks nice to me.
I dont do the glass bow thing, but I do know wood is stronger on edge? It seems to me it would be much stronger lam'ed that way.
