I imagine he is very happy with his gift. Great job. I have become very partial to wild cherry in the risers, too.

Thanks fellas.He was realy surprised and overwhelmed that he was getting a gift like this for Christmas.

I was surprised too Chris.The cherry wood was so nice to work with,it carved and sanded well.

I thought it would make the bow to lite.

I incorporated the hickory to give it some weight
to cut the hand shock down some.
