I don't think cutting a shelf will cause you any problems unless you go for centershot and cut halfway through. I usually cut one about 3/8" deep.

What Eric said. Just don't cut the shelf in too far and you should be ok.
Good job on your bow and yes, this hot, sticky, humid weather isn't optimum for bow building. Make sure you post your bow when it's finished.

Thank you for the feedback. Interesting concept Eric. I may try that. What are the initial dimensions of the glue on shelf?

I make the shelf to fit the riser, my handle size my vary, I don't have any dimensions, I just grab what ever figured wood scrap I have available.

I did something similaqr to Eric by adding a leather shelf along side the shallow shelf I had cut into this bow many years ago. I don't cut in shelves anymore but I do still add a shelf sometimes...
