Looks good Marc.  I would expect no less from you.  The few takedowns I have made with those sleeves have without exception been a booger to get apart.  It's usually due to vacuum. A small hole drilled through the outer sleeve right where the two sections meet in the interior goes a long way to alleviate the problem.  The whole needs to be under where the wrap is laced together of course.  Otherwise the wrap will keep the hole sealed off.

Lovely result from one of The Masters.

Thanks again

I don't get that vacuum sound when I take it apart but that doesn't mean it's not one of the reasons it is tough.

The lower tip was a void in the wood.  I trimmed about 1" off the end which left the "horns" look, what I trimmed of was superfluous since I wouldn't have been able to use it for a nock
