Oh yeah been there, done that! Then I'd watch an episode of Tool Time with Tim the Tool Man Talyor to make myself feel better.

LOL Mike.

Last week I replaced a 50 year old toilet that had new 3/4" flooring laid around it 6 years ago....

What a trip.

Got this roughed out this weekend and put a few arrows thru it. I'm very surprised for the first try of this design. Not sure i'm gonna change a thing. She's a shooter as well as being a sexy little thing!

Really nice looking riser Travis

Thats some interesting wood, looks like marble in the pictures.

Flem, it's maple crotch wood that I stabilized. I'm fairly sure it is a soft maple but it sucked in a bunch of resin and has a lot of mass weight. I also stabilized the walnut but it didn't take that much resin. I'm still a little worried about the strength of it. It seems kinda flexy. I didn't radius the site window as much as normal because I'm worried about strength

Very sharp, Travis...

What did the weight end up at?

Nice... Looks great... Did you cut the tips back a little... The curves don't look as rounded as in the other pic?? Could just be the angle of the pic also...

Longcruise · March 29, 2021, 10:19:38 AM

That's a very attractive riser. Are the wedges matching walnut?

Shredd, only changes I made was narrowing up the tips at the center of the hook and raised the brace a half inch. I think it's just the pic angle
The wedges are walnut

skeaterbait · March 29, 2021, 12:42:01 PM

That is a beauty.

onetone · March 29, 2021, 04:35:20 PM

So fine! Is the sight window cut past center?

Shredd · March 29, 2021, 05:43:18 PM

Good luck with her... I am glad she worked out for you...

Onetone, I cut it rite at center but I'm sure I cut it in a little while I radiused the sight window. I tried to leave as much mass in it as possible because I'm not sold on the strength of the wood I used

onetone · March 30, 2021, 12:03:06 AM

Thanks, sometimes it is hard to tell from a pic. That bow sure is a looker.

Crooked Stic · March 30, 2021, 01:31:04 PM

Very nice bow there.
Here is an alternate to Osage that prolly wont change color. Hard maple dyed and stable with Aztec gold. and the weight is there to.
