Title: New riser
Post by: kennym on June 05, 2016, 12:18:00 PM

You may remember the 2 TDs I built last year, the risers I glued up with some older glue didn't fare too well.

The one bro has is repaired and holding, but mine has sorta failed again, so built a new riser for the limbs.

Here is original riser...

Here is what she looks like now....

Very nice Kenny. Is that ebony or phenolic?

Fine looking risers and a toss up on which one I like best. I enlarged the picture and that first one was a mighty fine looking riser, but so is this one. I can't vote here, like them both!

Thanks!!

Dale, it is 1/4" phenolic glued up with bocote scales. You can see the glue lines in the sun if you look close.

Think its the matte clearcoat I used on it. The gloss clearcoat never showed em on the last couple.
