I am building my first 3 piece take down longbow. I ordered the limb bolt kit from Bingham. I was wondering what size tap would i need to thread the insert into the riser. Thank you  Steve d

It is a 1/2-13.  Try and call Binghams before they ship your order...they sell them!

That is some very attractive  wood.  What kind is it?  Keep the pics coming, looking forward to seeing this one finished up.
