Thanks again fellas. My concern with adding a longer riser is that the belly dips where the old one ended. I don't have enough thickness left to plane it down flat again so I was thinking of adding a wood backing.
Only problem with that is I slightly rounded the edges on the back!  ::)

you can glue on strips of leather or rawhide and build it up then shape as you wish

Thanks Bubby I  think I might run with that to keep it simple. I've got another peice of the same wood I could try with backing next time.
