Title: "Set back handle" steam bending form/jig? Anybody use one ever or anything?
Post by: toomanyknots on April 16, 2012, 05:26:24 pm

I kinda wanna make some set back handle bows out of single selfbow staves, so I figured I would ask everybody whats the best way to go about doing that. I guess splicing at the handle would probably be the easiest,... but I was wondering if anybody has every steamed some setback into a bow? I'm basically fiendin to make a cupid kinda bow out of a stave,  ;D. But I guess it probably would have to be kinda wider and not as thick at the handle as normal. Maybe built up at the handle on the back with sinew or something...
