Hi,

I bought the main wood top bow and it is in 5 pieces, two vertical sides that attach to the lower metal triple hinge, two short curved pieces and the long horizontal top piece. I have the metal brackets that screw into these to hold them, but do not know if the wood edges are supposed to be glued together or not first.

If I glue them how will I know to get it to fit on the lower hinge correctly on both sides? Is there some article on this in one of the restorer books or somewhere else that you can point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
