Craig:
Glad you got a lot out of the class. It's a great thing they have going up there.
Since it will only be screened, the bow won't affect how the skins fit. The other thing to keep an eye on is how the bow might affect the fit of a knee brace off the bowed face. Since you're not doing a housing, the bearing face will be a little off, and the brace may need to be trimmed. Good luck with your project, and post pictures! CB.
