top bow wood

[wc16]

Good Morning Where can I find the dimensions for the wooden stringer which ties the 3 M37 bows together? Each bow has a U shaped bracket underneath. I read some where the material used was oak. thanks

Are you looking for the long straight piece that runs front to back? I can measure mine tonight, the only thing I can't tell you is if mine is an original. I do know it fits all the brackets!

Measures: 15/16"x2"x76 1/2" Not sure what type it is, mine is painted. Doesn't feel like pine, likely a hardwood.

Thanks warren I thought it might be a true 1"x2" in dimension. My bows are original and have sagged from age but not enough to replace

After I measured the 2" dimension, I expected to see a true 1" on the other but it wasn't, even checked a few different sections along it's length. As I said, not sure mine is original, but it did fit the brackets tightly.
