The sleeves for this bow made by asharrow, AKA Jim Davis. Thanks Jim. I like the heavy weight in the handle, makes the bow extra sweet to shoot. This is my first takedown and I love it. It will get some use on the motorcycle. 64" long, upper 40's pull. Water buff tip overlays.

I put the wrong date on the bow.

Looks awesome. I'm also curious about the takedown sleeves... are they threaded or just a socket??
-
The takedown sleeves are seamless carbon steel. I welded in solid steel plugs and drilled and tapped one end, turned and single-point threaded the other end. All that work was done with my Logan metal lathe. I got interested in that method after seeing a photo of one made in the 1920s or '30s by James Duff.
I have since come to prefer a single sleeve that the limbs are just epoxied into with on end made removable by waxing the inside of that end of the sleeve before gluing the end in. The joint assembles and disassembles just like a fishing rod.
Here are a couple of images to show the difference.
-
Thanks a lot for the great comments, much appreciated.
I am a big fan of this system Jim, but I will give the simpler one a try too and see how it works for me.

Nice looking bow.

I'm sorry, sir, but this is a PRIMITIVE bow forum.. you're going to have to take your elegant, classy-looking bow elsewhere....
:P
Kidding of course. It is a nice looking bow.. slim and pretty, but perfect balance and tiller.
