Patrick, it was really great spending some time with you and Eric! Both of you spend way way too much time working at MoJam.. while I spend most of my time playing while there. (SH)
I have my wood for the caul build. I have never made the part, that you actually shape the bow on, more than 1 1/2" wide, but yours is 3" wide. I asked you about it but I'm still wondering if, after all of the times it has been used, you still feel the need for the extra width ? How did you decide to make it that wide ?
thanks again!
Bob
lebhuntfish:
Yes Bob, I do think it needs to be that wide. I do several character bows and I also straighten them some while shaping them to the caul. I use the joint of the two 2x's as a center line so I know im Bending the tips and handle in a straight line. Short of a couple of tip flipping cauls I've only made this one.
It may take me a bit to get the pictures fixed on this thread. I have to get them off of photo bucket and uploaded to imgur then reposted. I can trade my form shape and send it to you if you want. Just let me know.

Bob Barnes:
cool... I have only used my Gary Davis reflex caul for lining up tips/risers and inducing reflex... I can see how the extra base width could come in handy. I'm babysitting my granddaughter this weekend but with build a caul once she goes home.
Thanks again!
Bob
lebhuntfish:
No problem Bob, Ill see if I can get things lined out for you.
