Red and or black palm in a riser?  I think it would be an interesting look.  Anyone use it?

Oh, just about any.  R/D, ASL.

I’ve seen it in risers, and I have used black palm as accents myself. I have even laminated some in a game call and turned it on the lathe. It can be very splintery, but I really like it. I haven’t been able to get red palm, but I would jump on it if I found some.

It would probably look good for a smallish riser, like an ASL. Might be too busy visually for a large riser, unless you used some of that Icewood for the limbs :laugh:
