: Front of my great Auk. no internal stem. Beveled the front, but not
: the top. the half-forms are beveled slightly. Duct tape keeps

Thanks Todd and Tony. Tony, do you have a pic of the top (long part) of the bow form? My confusion comes from the way the first two "mini" forms line up on the bow form. When I set them in place, it seems obvious that the top of the form, and not just the stem, needs to be beveled. Yet it's not mentioned in the book or in the offsets.
Sean.
