    Lets see a pic of the form.

    All the forms I have I made myself.

    Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any advice.

    Looks like a recurve form to me.

    How wide is it?

    Did it come with the air hose?

    Looks like it should work. ...can't wait to see your first bow out of it.

    Make sure all the parts and the area are clean before you start the glue-up. I lost a couple of bows because there were traces of oil or wax on the table. It is totally heartbreaking to get down tillering your new baby only to have it de-laminate in the first few draws.
