Very nice 8wt. I was hoping you would cut the riser for a lefty, and I would have to take it off your hands.
What kind of wood is that? Lots of grain in it, it looks sweeeeeet.

The Riser as well as the limb veneers are a wood called Bocote.......

I love it......there are a lot of pretty woods, and it is my favorite.....

Thanks for the nice comments.... Im a proud new Bowyer.... [:-]
