Haven't posted for a while so here's few shots of work in progress. 62'' takedown Red Box/ actionwood riser, silver ash wedges, tulipwood belly lams and 'boo core. 58# @ 28'' still has more sanding and then finish coats. I just wiped over some poly to highlight flaws for sanding.

Bootifull, Bigbob! That Tulipwood almost looks like Cypress...

Love the actionwood & mosaic in the riser. A lot of care & attention in there.

Thanks Nezwin. Actionwood is no longer available seeing as the factory that made it burned down and is apparently not being replaced.I just have one remaining block. I like the look of the tulipwood too, but this the only piece/s I have, generous gift from a fellow Ozbower

Thanks Rod, pity I have to cut a full block of actionwood to make a riser. most ends up as off cuts that due to the way the ply runs are no good for anything, maybe clamping blocks or the like.

May have to steal that grip shape for my next bow. Looks like it would cause your had to slide into the same position every time. Good job!

Be my guest! I do find that it really does allow the thumb to sit exactly in the same place each time so takes one small potential problem out of the way.
