Here's my caul that I built in a few hours. My last BBO came off of this design and it's a keeper!





Here's what the BBO that came off it looks like before tillered.

Hope that helps.

If I did that I wouldn't be able to find anything!!
It took me years to get everything right where I could find it.  ::) ;D

Did you get your caul built yet?

PD, that's what my bow shop looks like...thought it was SOP for folk's like us???   >:D  Besides, the crunch and crackle of Osage, hickory and ERC under foot makes me feel like I'm making progress (even if all I'm doing is making tinder  ;D)

I need a dump truck to haul half this crap off to the landfill, that's the biggest problem and it ain't all my junk either.
My yard is immaculate, but my garage is a disaster area.  :-\ :D
