Show me your caul…… please
razorbak:
Ok after careful consideration I’m wanting to build a full length caul for adding reflex and straightening out bows. looking for some ideas. Any dimensions and do you guys perfer dry heat or steaming? Last several flip tips I’ve done delveoped cracks and fractures using dry heat and coating the limbs with olive oil and haven’t tried steaming yet….. thanks in advance
Selfbowman:
This caul does 66-70 bows. You will get a smooth drawing and fast bow. It’s been proven by 3D Shooters winning tournaments and many flight records. Are there others out there of course.

About 3-4” baked in generally but depends on the build. The ones shown here were hickory bows clamped down to the cauls in prep for heat treatment. They were all 4” reflex. They retained about 2.5-3.5” of that after tiller.
