Kenneth, I have an antique, treadle shoe tacker sewing machine if your wife is interested to help fill up the new shed.   

[OldRawhide42]

Ya Bue I have a wife. We bought the house next door to us. She can fill one I will fill the other one.

Pat B, I bet we have one! A few cobbler machines.  I have put the stop on more machines. We are gearing up to move/build in the next year...

[Pat B]

     Good luck on the move/build. We did that in 1990 and we both enjoyed every bit of it.

So, ended up at 9 degrees and 32 lbs at 28. The riser I threw  together is actually turning out nice. Got to do some more shaping and and an overlay on the front to tie in the color differences.  Got a little creative on the mill.

Love the look of that riser and the grip shape too 

[Appalachian Hillbilly]

This turned out pretty dang nice. Blind Hog!
The maple has a lot of curl, the walnut has some stuff going on. I am pleased!

[kennym]

I always compare all woods to Osage's Specific Gravity and Janka Hardness
What kind of Walnut? English is harder than Black
You have a laminated riser , that always helps, you have more walnut than Maple, both about the same

not sure what kind this is but it was plenty dry
the white is phenolic
I don't know how strong this is but it was a new design so I went for  it

[Appalachian Hillbilly]

That design looks nice! My riser is black walnut. One thing I try to do and did on this riser , is catch all the layers with the threaded insert for the limbs. This one catches all the layers and that helps tie it in.

This bow will never see more than 30 lbs. My ILG risers have about 50lbs and no issues yet. Bit they have only bee together now for several months. The layers are all tied together with the insert on those as well.

They may blow up tomorrow,  but then I can determine why since I built them.

[Mad Max]

You will be fine

I forgot to say about the thread insert and try and use 1 of the woods being harder.
Your doing a fantastic job the info on that link bellforest is very helpful.

I do use Bellforest, but this is is the one I use the most.

I like the low no profile limb bolts.   Let's the eye appreciate the form and design.

[Appalachian Hillbilly]

Ok, how was that done? That does look very nice. Beyond my abilities right now with all the curves that have to match!

Flat Head Socket Head Cap Screws
Did not work very well, seems like it needed the washer and bezel to push down better on the limb, but the limb pad was only 3" long also, and the bolt was in the center, the end of the limb wanted to pull away from the limb pad (gap)
between the two  things I don't know
This was a prototype
