So I debated on purchasing the bow tip leading edges for $400.00 +
from Univair or learn to make my own an spend the money on tools or new shoes ... tough decision ;)

I decide to make my own and learn how to do it, so here is my first pass at them. Never used an English-wheel, power hammer, shrinker or stretcher before (picture of tools I used). Still a little rough, hope you like them.

I will make them in 2-pieces, one for the top and one for the bottom. I know Piper did them in 3-piece and I may change my mind an do that too, we will see.

Enjoy,
KAP
