Thanks guys for the nice comments!

This was my first take-down and also my first lever bow, so it was a slow build.  During finishing, I was hung up on how to nicely transition the takedown sleeve to limb. After racking my little head for some time, I remembered Richard B's takedown build and did what he did with cork. http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php?topic=45456.45
Thanks Richard!

Wow Carson, that's a beautiful bow. Great looking tiller and that handle wrap compliments the skins nicely. Nice work!

Very cool. Still kicking myself for not picking up some ray hide a few years back, saw some for dirt cheap and thought "What am I ever going to do with that?"

Thanks guys for the nice comments.

Jackson, this was the first time I ever used it. It was kind of a pain to trim and sew, but in the end it was worth it.
