« Last post by bjrogg on Today at 09:45:07 am »Yeah it is a beauty. Good to have some stiff competition. I hope we can give him a little stiff competition to.
I hope to finish another one to enter, I don’t mind losing to a bow like that. Be even happier to lose to one better than that
Don’t give up before we start.

I don't think any other wood could take the stress of that design.

Tuomo: I don't have a solution yet These sleeves are made by a lot of bowyers and I have not heard about that specific problem. This was not my first one but there's always things to learn.
Right now its freezing cold and very dry here - however, wehen I made this takdown sleeve it was begin of december and relativly mild and intermediate climate here - so that is my hope, maybe I'm lucky Sure you have this effect more extreme in Finland with massive diffferences between summer and winter.
However I have already been thinking of how to improve that system - especially for drawweights like that. Thinking about putting some carbon also onto the male side in the future.
If this one does not work proper over longer period the bow will come back to my clinics and I will redo the handle as described. For now its gathering more experience.
Apart of that I find it a very smart and cool takedown solution, well doable with little material.
Cheers

However, the bow is made in winter, when the air is very dry. What happens when the humidity increases? I have made a few take-down bows of this kind with a wooden male joint, and it tends to swell in more humid conditions (sorry…). Then it becomes difficult - or impossible - to attach or detach the parts.
Do you have a solution to this problem? Or perhaps I should ask: what is your solution?
Here is the original ECHO bow by Simson:
