Title: New ILF rig... almost there!
Post by: el chupa nibre on July 02, 2014, 09:21:00 PM
Just received my ILF riser from Andy at Bezaleel Bow Works!

15" riser, all ziricote with two tan phenolic accents for a nice subtle touch. Has a nice heft to it and the grip is fantastic! Very, very pleased with the result to say the least.  

Not the greatest quality pictures since they're taken with my cell phone. The grain looks much nicer in person. Now just waiting for my Centaur longbow limbs    :goldtooth:

Andy really does great work! And it doesn't hurt that he's a standup guy.    :clapper:

And about the shelf, I purposefully asked him to leave it bare as I am going to try experimenting with an elevated toothbrush rest that Mark Kimber (of Huntsman Bows) has become known for.

Thanks for looking, guys!

Until about a month ago I had no idea Bezaleel made ILF risers, great to know--they look excellent!

Actually found out about Andy through TradGang myself, from this one review:

When I saw tj69's riser, I was just blown away by the curves and lines. The cocobolo and bocote on his riser is a sexy combination for sure... I just personally prefer darker woods.    :)
