The wood has broken. Now I am trying to find ideas on how to fix, with limited talent and tools.

Top Bow Rivit
I have a top bow issue that I am not sure just how to fix.
The wood has broken. Now I am trying to find ideas on how to fix, with limited talent and tools.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Re: Top Bow Rivit
The only way to do it correctly is to replace the wood. Then drill the hole for the semi tubular rivet to hold it in.

Re: Top Bow Rivit
I would not be surprised.
The plan is to replace the wood.
