Key would be a Mahoe base plate and it seems the Kaikamako spindle is preferred. The bearing plate ,cord etc are easier to make. We can't find mahoe or Kaikamako around here! Base plate would be about 8 - 12 inches long by 2 or 3 inch wide (200 - 300mm by 50-75mm); spindle 8-12" long.
But please take further advice from someone more expert than me!

From what I know, the spindle should be about the thickness of your thumb, and the length is the span of your hand (between tip of thumb to tip of little finger, when hand is stretched out) At this length it's easier to use the bearing plate and you have less chance of losing control when bowing.
Also, when selecting and cutting the bow to length, choose a branch that has a natural curve to it, but isn't too flexible. The bow should be about the length from your arm pit to the end of your hand (when stretched out in front of you).
I hope this helps.
