how exactly do you go about getting the back of a stave flat to the point that it is good enough to mate with the bamboo backing?

1 a good caul
2 a good heat gun
3 a good stave
4 ryobi 4x36
5 scrapers I f needed
6 which is supposed come first . Asking for Gods help!
It was easier with the horn because it’s more flexible. That being said I think I can. I think I can. I think I can.  ;D

Say Arvin, why are you putting so much emphasis in having a flat single back ring to put the bamboo on? I understand the belly ring, but not the back?

The terminology folks are slipping.  A backed selfbow?   You can't say that!

Puting a little pre bend on the bamboo. Grass don’t care for heat much.
