Steve, I assume the bow is a takedown. I will also assume that the wood you bought is a hard maple. If so you can use a solid piece of wood for the riser. I have made a couple of risers with no veneers.

steve what pse is it ? i might know where an impala riser is. one of the limbs broke on it so i gave it away some years back but im pretty sure the guy still has it
Good that you found another riser. I aint sayin a solid map;e riser would not hold up if done right-good radius in the shelf area and the grip is kept big enough in the throat area. BUT I would laminate it for added strength. Just in case you want to make a riser.
