I got a good plan for one using clamps to hold onto the bow. Just kinda curious how people do this...

the lower part is raised up,

the part that has too little is increased."

What I do is place the tips on 2x4 blocks and draw the handle down to the table. I will also tie a string between the nocks to help hold the shape. You need for your bow to be bending evenly before you do this.

I have used blocks under the tips as Pat mentions, tying the handle section down with a strong thin twine that gets sinewed over.
When the sinew has dried sufficiently I cut the twine on each side of the handle.
