[QUOTE="suffolksmallholder, post: 7422793, member: 1498"] The bow is a piece of 12mm dowel although I have a hollow fibreglass rod and 4mm round leather lacing plus new stop springs. GT version. The handle and stopper fit although you could find a local wood turner to make new items. That's the fun bit. My wife made a super sized linen bag I have to look around for the first thirty paces but this saves visiting the top up station so often. I used copper nails and small pieces of treated batten to re-fix this. Main failure I see in those for sale now (they have a firm and quite high price) is woodworm infestation but I would certainly make spares from my timber stack. Treat with a linseed/turpentine and cuprinol solution for best woodworm eradication. The spinner, back plate and springs were available and do pop up on ebay from time to time. I have a few spares for my swallows nest fiddle from these peeps. SS [/QUOTE]
