Re: Bow Repair
A photo of the area in question would help. Roadster? Standard or deluxe? Phaeton?

Re: Bow Repair
I made some new wood bows for my Model T by gluing several thin layers of wood together. I made a form to hold the laminated bow in position while it dried.
You can buy wet solid wood that has been processed to make it easy to form. You bend it to shape on a form and then let it dry. See https://www.puretimber.com/

Re: Bow Repair
A lot depends on how a particular snap fastens and whether it fastens into wood or metal. It would be hard to give an opinion without knowing these things. Photos are good but even good location descriptions and year model of car can be a big help.
