Call Mark
Definitly call Mark!!!
That's one of the issues with bocote - it's prone to cracks from seasonal changes in humidity. I have a bunch of bocote out in the shop and nearly every piece has a crack of some sort now.
One of my Hornes had similar issue shortly after it got here - Mark fixed it. They way he lays up his risers it's probably just cosmetic anyway, but give him a call.
Bocote and Ebony are 2 woods that are prone to "drying cracks" Shouldn't hurt the bow at all. Call Mark and talk to him.
whew im feelin better thanks maybe ill sleep the bow still shoots great and its bareley noticable, prob no one else ever wood but thanks again ill call him monday.
