salvaged bamboo take down ....looking for advice?

[Bevan R.]

That is so much more of what I want in a TD than the glass stuff. And I have all the stuff I need to do it (well maybe a little short on time and a lot short on skill) but it looks like a future project for sure!!

Bevan, not that had, just a little thinking, heck I didn't even build a jig to split the rizer, just took my time and went slow and easy, I'm shure you can get it, lot's a luck, Bub

[Bevan R.]

I would assume that when you calculated (or whatever) the riser split, you already had a bolt length in mind so you knew roughly where the t-nut had to go? Taking into account the limb & overlay thickness of course.

I'd glue a wood strip to reinforce the bending area where the bolts are.

[bubby]

yeah I figured the length of the bolt and limb thickness with the overlay on the limbs, and the washers, you can make a wood accent washer with a 1" holesaw, 1" washer and 1/2" washernut them up together , put in a drill motor and sand it down to the size of the washers, Bub
aznboi3644, I think I mentioned that point also

thanks for the pics Bubby, that gives me more idea how to go about it, I need to put an overlay over the bolted area and look for some good bolts,

Dragonman, I'm thinking brass for when I do mine.

Bevan,   I was also thinking of brass bolts  , not sure where to get them yet, but would look cool, better than steel.. Good luck with yours, I'll keep you posted how mine goes

you guy's should be able to get the brass at any good hardware store
