Hi Mike, I'm thinking about getting one of your EPIC ILF risers, like the yellow one with stripe you've posted pics of on this site.
I see $300, 15 inch, is that the price as pictured, I see on your website some various upgrades pricing......
I also wondered if you are so SWAMPED with various limb projects you have going on, what is your wait time to build?
Or do you have some of these in stock & ready to ship? Risers that is.
I'm ready to sell /trade something to raise money for a riser order.
Thanks, Steve Long.

Steve,

At this time we have a couple of Epic HP 15+ risers in stock but not on the webpage.

I'll see if Connie can take a pic or two today of them.

Your right on being swamped at this time. We are rowing as fast as we can to get the limbs done. We can work a riser in between glue ups however now and then. We are doing one in the Osage Wacky Wood for John Conaway.

The one pictured is $300 plus the Tier 2 wood upgrade, so $375 total plus shipping.

MIKE, these are beautiful, thanks to you and Connie for posting pics.
I'm RH, kind of partial to the yellow one OSAGE WW version.
I will try to figger out where the $$ will come from and get back to you when I am ready....now that I know my basic cost at $375 & shipping.
I will pawn some pieces and get back with you.....in a month or two.
Thanks again,
Steve Long

Mike, JOHN, I'm willing to wait in line with a normal order like a normal person.
Even though no one ever called me normal, much.......
JOHN you don't gotta let me have YOUR riser, I'm not in any races.
But I did sell a riser to BOB so it will help finance my EPIC riser order.
Whatever's in the wind works for me, guys.
THANKS JOHN for the offer.

John, YEH I'm in, if you are out.
Mike, is that ok?
AS I said earlier, I'm wanting the yellowish riser like we first saw RUSTY had in a post/thread maybe as long as 2-3 months ago.
The Epic 15" yellow ILF riser in osage actionwood or westvang wacky wood.
Mike, tell me what you need from me?
Any other options to consider?
Thanks, both John & Mike.

MIKE, I called your work number & left a msg there with my phone number.
I understand JOHN paid for the riser & all I have to do is receive it and shoot it.
John's a swell guy that way.
Thanks.
