I copied a begonzi bridge blank I found online. I couldn't get it right from the photo so I drew it up on Autocad. I found that I could get an arc thru the bottom two circles by the ankles, and another 25% bigger thru the big circles and the bottom of the heart, and another 25% bigger than that thru the heart circles. Satisfied that it was drawn ok I made a couple up. When I held them up to a modern blank the main dimensions are not that far off. Then I saw that the top was so narrow! I checked to be sure that the strings would still fit, and they will.
