Self sockets for take downs?

If I had that nice piece of Osage I would spend the money on a  store bought t/d sleeve. They are inexpensive when you figure the time you are going to invest in that bow. Just my opinion backed up by personal experience, good luck, should make an awesome bow.

You can make your own.  I wrote an article for PA on a 2 PC take-down made with my own socket that was published 3 or 4 issues ago.

I read that article, very good as a matter of fact I'll probably try that some day.  I can see a fiberglass sleeve been more giving than steel and not adding as much weight to the bow.
