The riser (the centre section of the bow) is generally separate and is constructed from wood, carbon, aluminium alloy or magnesium alloy. The term 'riser' is used because, in a one-piece bow, the centre section rises from the limbs in a taper to spread the stress.
When forming between walls or other flat surfaces (such as plywood) where you will be able to mark riser locations, positioning risers is easy. Set riser boards to the marks and fasten them to the walls or side boards. If steps are longer than 4 feet, install stringers to support risers and keep stair lines straight. Stringers should support both the top and bottom of each riser board (refer to the diagram).
