Thanks James. I’ve posted a YouTube video of my modified card scraper set up for those interested. It’s a crude tool but seems to work well to get the contours I need.

Ok so I decided to do a set of matching groove scrapers. I used my repurposed card scrapers that I reshaped to a 6” radius. This took a while and I had to use needle files and a set of magnifying goggles for detailed work. It took a few tries to get right. I went with 12 tpi grooving. I’m hoping this will be sufficient grippage and surface area. The teeth are about 1.5mm deep and about 2mm apart. Let me know if you think these will work. My plan is to do one of these bows with these matching grooves and the other with non-matching grooves that are about 20tpi. My original plan and test intent was to done one bow with the grooving and the other with no grooving. I have since decided against this as I’m using bamboo as my core wood and know that good adhesion is more of a concern with bamboo. Don’t want to take any chances.
