    Well I have been racking my brain trying to work out how I am going to build another bow that will top the one I built for Dave.

    How does a riser made totally of cloth sound?????????

    Not just one color of cloth but several different colors so it ends up looking like a camo riser.:deer:

    I already have the limbs made they are on my Bogan take down.

    Can this sort of riser be made?

    I already know the answer to that question just want to see if you guys think it will be possible:d

    What are you up to now Russ? I've been racking my brain on this "cloth riser" and for the life of me I can't come up with anything. Spill the beans bud!!

    I built limbs for a phenolic riser one time. Interesting risers. Never made one though. Cant wait to see what you come up with.

    Kent.

    I might have to order some more 300 epoxy to glue it all up with, I have a gallon of the 400 but dont want to use it because it is a thicker mix and I think the 300 will soak into the cloth a little better.:cool:

    Wonder if the missus will miss the cloth from her quilting supply:confused: :deer: :d

    Just order some Kevlar along with that resin and see how light of a "cloth" riser you can make.

    Ok a cloth riser...what will he use for a string to be different? I imagine Russ trying to string a thong or bra strap onto it!:d
