Title: Thanks Walt!
Post by: mwosborn on February 21, 2013, 09:55:00 PM
Been wanting to make a new caul for reflexing and straightening my selfbows.  I saw one that Walt made that was adjustable.  So I used his idea and made me an adjustable one.  The two ends slide so that I can put in one of 6 different size middle pieces.  We will see how it works!  Thanks Walt.

Looks good Mitch, I think it will work fine.

Sharing tips and techniques is a huge part of this forum.  However, I can't take all the credit.  I got the initial design from somebody over at the other site before Tradgang existed and then, to save space, modified my new form to be adjustable .  

Mine is still working fine, used it yesterday to adjust yew selfbow I'm making
