Very nice Mike.
I heard the bells ringing in your video and thought that you had added a sound track.

Mike, Happy belated seventieth Birthday.
I'm intrigued with your riser jig. After clamping the riser into the jig do you use a router-table with a straight bit to shape it? And does the guide bearing follow the lower 3/4" plywood form?
I've been trying to make the riser for my (KennyM) D/R longbow...screwed up some nice pieces of wood trying to even out the fades.

Nope router will get you in trouble.Dont ask. I have a profile sander and the guide wheel runs on plexiglass on the bottom of the jig. You just have to free hand the first riser and jig together. Do one end and flip it to get them the same. The tip overlay jig still has MDF on the bottom instead of plexi.

The blue form above may be up for grabs less hardware. I redid another with the belly against the form. I will know in a few days.

Ok the blue form is available no cost you pay shipping. I would rather someone use than me pitch it.

Mike, you making one long enough to do a 64" ?

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #51 on:** September 24, 2018, 07:29:45 PM »

I think I can get a 62 out of it. I am liking the 60 pretty good though. The light weight one came off the new form yesterday. Going to do a 60 for a buddy next.

Forwardhandle · « **Reply #52 on:** September 25, 2018, 04:49:58 AM »

Mike if you do a 62 in. please post it Im working on one now , what weight is light weight ?

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #53 on:** September 25, 2018, 07:39:40 AM »

Well between me and Kenny we come up with a stack for 30 lbs. and it came out 27.5. So I cut it down to 58 in. and got three more lbs. so .275 will get you a bit over 30 with 58 in. bow. I will probably try a 62 later on. I have a couple others to do right now. The OD green form. You can see the top part in the background in one pic and the bow in the overlay form in the other. Need to do major shop cleaning

Forwardhandle · « **Reply #54 on:** September 30, 2018, 06:23:29 AM »

Hey Mike you got any more Pics off the new form ? I know you been cranking out

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #55 on:** September 30, 2018, 07:34:34 AM »

Yeah I got one with top coats on it and another I am working on. I will get pics today. I am in a walnut and cherry mode right now.

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #56 on:** September 30, 2018, 12:22:24 PM »

Here you go A few pics of a couple off the OD form. The shiny one I was going for 30@28 and got 27.5. So I piked it two ins and got a finished weight of 29.5@28. these seem pretty peppy. A shot of the second one with grip overlays curing.
