First Cut
 
Into the plywood riser:)

I got home early from work today so I was able to get a fair bit done to the plywood riser bow.

Unfortunately the overlays did not turn out how I wanted them so I had to redo those but I guess thats life and lucky they where not epoxied to the bow.

Anyway here is the first cut I made into the riser I like how the colors run into each other, they should look great with sanding and some poly over them.



Lets hope I can get home early tomorrow I might even be able to get it finished.

Hmmmmmmmm yeah ok[8D];):):D


Been out in the shop sanding back the riser shape I am looking for to bring out the bestin color config.:)

Here it is with the rough riser shape still a lot more work to do but it is starting to look good. I did wet it down to get an idea of what it is going to look like under a few coats of poly.



Not a very good photo tho.:(
