Nice takedown. The alignment must've been tough. Do you plan to make more limbs?

Looks good man, for what it's worth i use the same tee nuts as that and drove them in with a socket and a hammer

Don`t mean to hijack the thread (and if I do, please tell me...) but I`m currently working
on a similar takedown, only my limbs are bamboo backed ipe. I was wondering if drilling through the
bamboo whould cause it to split when drawn. When I was a total noob, I tried to make limbs from a bamboo
piece and it split the second I drew the bow. I don`t know if it will do the same when the bamboo is glued as
a backing.

Arachnid if it was mein the area of the bolts i would sand it down and do an overlay like on a tip that should take care of it

Are you a mind reader Bubby? Thats what I thought of doing but wasn't sure if it'll work. Now I'll give it a go. Thanks a lot man.

I would sand the bamboo at the fad and glue on and overlay. Other wise, the limb bolt will only have contact with the very top of the crown of the back.
