has anyone set a deflex in the handle this way?

Aussie Yeoman:
I'm thinking about different way to achieve deflex without steaming or splicing. Especially those ways that are easier to accomplish/lesss fiddly. Of course it's possible to just bend it over a form, but where the stave is too thick to bend  around that much of a radius, perhaps there are other ways.

This idea came to me late at night. Has anyone tried it? If so, how'd it work out?

Any other clever ways people have used?

Selfbowman:
Did this with dry heat.

Aussie Yeoman:
Noice. Did you put pin through it or was the glue enough?

I've done something pretty much exactly the same with a project that's still on the 'to finish' shelf.

Selfbowman:
Smooth on epoxy. I used the nose on my sander to even it out. Takes some time to get the glue joints tight.
