Subject: [Healeys] Wood top bow
=20
Has anyone made their own wood top bow? As I'm getting ready to order a =
new wood top bow for my BN7, and seeing the price, I wondered if I could =
make my own. I have my own little wood shop, band saw, table saw, =
router, etc.=20
I have not yet disassembled the old top. I was leaving that up to the =
upholstery shop so they could see how it all goes together. But then I =
thought, how hard could it be to make one myself? A 4 foot 1-1/2" x =
1-1/2" stick of white oak will cost me about $20.00.
