Roadster Rich, I was faced with a similar delemia for my 30 Lincoln touring which has 5 bows. Yes, Oak Bows is a good source and his quality is well known, but for me it would have been $2,000 for finished peices. I tried the steam route and failed. You must have "green" wood which means oak that is freshly cut. I used the remaining wood and pieced mine together using a technique called ship lap joints. The benefit is perfect radius curves (cut on a bandsaw) and glued to the straight lengths. Make a jig on a piece of plywood and clamp to it. Use a router and a belt sander for the edges. See the pictures. Total cost $300 and satifisfaction that I did it myself. Better fit also, steam bent bows tend to want to go back straight. Chris
