working on a bow. didn't plan on adding a stabalizer socket

Turns out that bow making is so addictive i just can't give it up!  I decided to add the risor after glue up,when removing my C-clamp this happened. :P




Just thought id share this as it made me laugh. iv'e removed it, and will continue shaping and tillering later on. Dont worry there is no F!%£&^(@$S on this bow  ;D

too bad it wasn't on the back - you would have had an insert ready to go.  Looks like a trilam - what are the woods?
Enjoy the hunt!  Mitch

Yep tri lam. From back to belly.  Hickory.  Walnut.  Cherry. Except the walnut core tapers and ends half way through the limb. The risor Iis mahogany.
