I've searched the archives and have viewed some remarkable take down longbows that people have built from the Bingham plans. Many of these (read: all of these) bows have had their risers modified. Does anyone have pictures of a Bingham take down longbow that was crafted exacly as the plans called for?
I would like to attempt one and eventually modify the riser to suit my taste, but doing so on the first glass-laminated bow seems foolish.
Any pictures? Any advise?

One of the perks of T/D's is you can experiment with riser design without making another bow.For the cost of the wood and a pair of inserts you can try any design you can think of and still have a bow. Not an option with a one piece.

This riser is 2" shorter and the lines are different than Binghams but still uses the same mounting hardware.
Thanks for the picture, I appreciate it.
Any more?
