I'm getting a order ready to sent to kenny and want to order a SPECTRAPLY riser but cant decide on color..
Does anyone have pictures of risers that they can share with coffee or nutmeg or dessert?

Thanks for any help

Not the same as seeing a riser carved out but you can maybe get an idea here ...

What angle you sawing that to get that effect.

45 degree end to end.

That sounds a bit steep Roy.

It was a guess, Kenny told me one time but ya know how an old farts mind wanders:)

Yep he told me once to and I ferget. Maybe Kenny can remind us soon.

Heck, he prolly forgot too

Kenny has a mind like a steel trap! Rusty!

I have a jig that sets the back end of the blank over 3/8" , and set the blade angle to 2 degrees making a compound angle . You can change the angle of the pattern easily by changing the blade angle a bit if you don't like the first results.

Then with the blank face down (grain you want) square the sides up.

When cutting the veneers off the blank, I change ends with blank each pass because if your bandsaw blade is not perfectly square with table, you will change the pattern in a few passes.

I couldn't decide on 1 color so I ordered two different colors. Just have to make two bows

Thanks Kenny. I m pretty sharp but pretty sure Elroy is rusty.
Nothing wrong with making two bows.

Kenny, that is a great idea to set the blade to 2 degrees, This old head would never have thought of that, learning all the time is good.
