I wouldn't have tried it but I knew that I had plenty of wax on the joint before I wrapped it. Good luck.

Thanks bob. I’m gonna try this! I’ve got some
c clamps and blocks of wood to protect the bow and try wracking it.

Thanks Pat. My wife thinks I should just go for broke with it as I can always just make another one. She also admits that she has no idea how much work goes into a bow let alone what went into this specific bow. Gonna shoot another 100 arrows through it tomorrow hoping it loosens up possibly.
Del the cat:
Good luck.
Shooting it sounds like a good idea, flex and vibration generally loosens things up... make haste slowly... the big hammer is the last resort.

I wish I had advise to offer, but I hope it works out for you. One piece or two, either way, it's a really nice bow.
Muskyman:
Only though I had and you may have already tried it or dismissed it was to heat it up with your heat gun while clamped in a vise. Not sure weather that’s a viable option or not. Anyway heat it then try and get it apart.. might be the dumbest idea ever but I excel at those so I thought I put it out there.
