Making a PT wing tip bow.

'Does anyone know of any "oldtimers" who acutaly worked on making the
PT wings? I'm thinking of making a jig for the PT bow. I have the
basic idea on how to make a jig. It looks like the F-24 and a
Stearman bow are fairly simple to make but the PT bow has a rise in
it. I have a couple ideas on how to make the PT bow but thought if
someone knew someone who actualy made the things way back when, it
would be a lots easier to make the jig.

I guess I should ask if anyone out there has made a PT bow from
scratch????
