Made my caul tonight. I don't
plan to make any bows longer than 64". So that's its length. I use 6 and 12" bar clamps. Can bend 2 at a time on top. I offset the boards so of I just want a straight stave with no bend i can do that also. Needs a bit more sanding on the top. I'll get that done tomorrow. This gives 3.5" at 64"

Very useful piece of equipment. I have 3. I use them a lot. I don’t make mine for a certain length. I have a half one with a recurve that I use to put my static’s in one limb at a time. I have two about four feet long that are for center portion of bow. One is flat and one has a small about a inch and a half of reflex. I like this combination. It’s pretty accommodating for wide range of lengths and designs.
I would like to make another half one with just a slight recurve

Here's that piece I'm not sure of....... heard it pop a couple times on caul. Not hot enough?
