Just finished/ Osage sleeve handle T.D.
« on: May 23, 2009, 02:20:00 PM »
This bow turned out really nice,I'm very happy with it. 64", 52#@28". No string follow and shoots really quick and sweet. There's alot of Mineral deposit in the wood. I had'nt made a sleeve handle T.D. in about 10 years,I forgot how much time they take!!

Very nice.  I am kinda scared of doing a takedown.  How tight is it?  Awesome bow.

Beautiful.  I have a couple of questions for you.  Why did you choose to use the outer sleeve for the bottom limb? And what did you use as an underlayment for the leather?

That's just awesome! I love the tiller. The takedown concept is very useful for traveling. Jawge

Kendall, that is a fine looking bow! Very nice work. Those sleeves do take some time but the convenience of a short travel package is worth it. Love the tiller.
