Lenny, The riser is easy to make. I take a riser block say 15" long by 1/3/4" wide to start. If you want of course you can laminate with all kinds of pretty wood,, then cut a long clean arc to the fadeouts. The fades have to be paper thin, so thin you can see light thru them. Then you lay up your lams,back, then mid lam and then you lay on the riser i guess i mean handle (wrong site) sorry. Then you bring the belly lams almost to the top of your handle. No worrys about the handle failing. I,ll take a pic and that may help. Hope i explained how i do mine. This bow is all blk walnut and will be a g bow for a customer.

Great job showing Jim this awsome adventure we call bow building. That is a great lookin bow, kind of like modern meets primitive, I love it. If I were to build a tri lam , bamboo backed bow, would I run the center lam as well as the belly lam up the handle like that, or just the belly piece? And also why do you not run the wood all the way up to the edge? Thanks! Justin
