I love the curves and simple design.  That is one fine bow.

looks good!

If you dont mind, how did you bend with the heat gun? Did you use a caul for aid?

Next time I use a caul, but this one was just done by clamping the bow to a table, weighing down the tip (wire and paint cans I think) and heating the section till the wood bent on its own. Works well enough, but it was tough to get both tips to have the same amount of reflex.

"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso
