Thats sucks Kenny. I was thinking the same thing as Ben. Any way to build up the tenon? Thin layer of epoxy? Never having made a take-down, I don't have a clue what your up against.

Ah heck dude, patch it up and send it off to ole Crooked Sticky.

He'll never notice a little crack:)

How far down does your wood go on the front of the top part. I like at least an inch and more would be better.
It is hard to say what may have happened until you try to grind it back off
. I always smear some resin on the bare wood before wrapping. and try to hold those first layers really tight.

I hate to see that Kenny. It’s a nice looking bow. It is fixable though. You can cut and grind the glass off and make another sleeve.

you kin send it ta Roy an he'll make it a 6-piece on his tillerin tree

Bvas · « **Reply #1009 on:** March 11, 2019, 06:13:06 PM »

If it’s for me.....I say fill the hole with smooth-on and slam her back together. Put that t-Rex hide on it and ship it. I ain’t skeered and don’t mind a one piece.

And if I hear anymore ticking, I’ll take the T-Rex off and wrap her up with duct tape. That s#*t will hold anything together.

I had a tick once with a takedown for the swap:

The sleeve half still pokes the fire and serves shots at ETAR thanks to Sweka.
