Hi everyone,
Ive started working on a takedown bow made from hickory with a black walnut handle and I wanted to bounce my plan off of you guys and see if you had any thoughts before I got started. My plan is to begin with my hickory board and glue a piece of blackwalnut on for the handle riser Im going to make this piece an 1 1/2" longer than the actual handle length because my plan is to cut the handle section in half and cut a dovetail joint in the handle section to join the two handle sections after they have been joined I'm planning two drill a 1/2" hole through the side of the handle section where a 1/2" oak pin can be inserted Im planning on wrapping the handle when it would be in use with a heavy twine similiar to some butanese take down bows I had read about. I would appreciate any thoughts or advice on this idea and I will try to talk my girlfriend into taking pictures after I get started so you can see how it goes. Thanks
