Osage takedown bow
Muskyman:
I’m assuming this is a ring violation. I’ve been trying to figure flickr out to post better pictures but no luck so far.
If it is a violation what can I do. Rawhide? Or get another billet and see if I can remove the sleeve?
Kinda bummed about it.
Pat B:
Hard to tell from the pic but if it is a violation you should probably go down to that ring for the back. If your limbs are still 5/8" you should have enough thickness to complete your bow as planned. You can stop the ring removal at the take down sleeve so the sleeve still fits. That area is stiff anyway so it shouldn't be a problem.
Muskyman:
Rings are pretty thick Pat. I might try taking it down to the next ring but I might try and heat the sleeve and see if I can get it off.
Hamish:
Those rings are fat. Its probably only a luna ring, so you haven't violated a full growth ring. Luna rings can be confusing sometimes. They appear as rings within an actual growth ring. I would leave it alone, and continue as normal.
Pappy:
You should be able to look at the edge to see if you are actually through a different ring, hard to tell from the picture. :-\
