Anybody use a form for sinewing while reflexed?

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

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.
