It works with a bottom roller drum sander on a drill press. The plexiglass guide on the bottom slides against the roller creating a perfect curve on the front of the riser block. I just cut close to the line and let the sander do the rest. The clamp came from woodcraft.

Good lookin' rig. :thumbsup: You're giving me some ideas to try for myself now.

Thanks. I need to make one for the belly side now.
Lookin good Jim!!
Probably have to finish the belly side by hand/eye tho. Could get the general shape first with one I bet!!
I think if I did the belly fades 1st with a concave plexiglass guide patterned off my longbow, I could then use the flat portion of the grip with this jig for the back.
I guessed the paper thin tip would be risky,let us know how it works!!
Here is the sanding drum I use.
