Thats sucks Kenny. I was thinking the same thing as Ben. Any way to build up the tenon? Thin layer of epoxy? Never having made a take-down, I don't have a clue what your up against.

Ah heck dude, patch it up and send it off to ole Crooked Sticky.

He'll never notice a little crack:)

Sorry bud, that sucks..

Did ja get a lightning storm?

Put a screw in it 

screw wont do it, countersink a nut and bolt then wrap with gorilla brand duct tape!! 

I'm gonna shelf it for awhile and build another one. Not gonna send anything out that I'm not 100% on.

How far down does your wood go on the front of the top part. I like at least an inch and more would be better.
It is hard to say what may have happened until you try to grind it back off
. I always smear some resin on the bare wood before wrapping. and try to hold those first layers really tight.

Hate to see that Kenny. What did you use for an ibeam?

I hate to see that Kenny. It's a nice looking bow. It is fixable though. You can cut and grind the glass off and make another sleeve.
Dave.

you kin send it ta Roy an he'll make it a 6-piece on his tillerin tree

If it's for me.....I say fill the hole with smooth-on and slam her back together. Put that t-Rex hide on it and ship it. I ain't skeered and don't mind a one piece.  And if I hear anymore ticking, I'll take the T-Rex off and wrap her up with duct tape. That s#*t will hold anything together.

Sorry to see that Kenny. It's a purdy bow.

And if it's for me, patch it up and ship it. I hain't skeered of lightning:)

I had a tick once with a takedown for the swap:

The sleeve half still pokes the fire and serves shots at ETAR thanks to Sweka.

Well guys , number one I ain't telling who it was for , and number two it ain't gonna be swapped !

I won't send it out with a known or suspected defect .
