The example shown is made from Osage Orange wood, also known as "Hedge". It is a common hardwood, but is
rarely suitable for bows. I had the good fortune of securing a small quantity of Osage with excellent properties for
bow-making. It has been air-dried 30+ years, straight-grained (really rare for this species), and has a specific
gravity and resilience very close to high-grade Pernambuco.
This particular bow was based on a Tourte model, has an octagonal stick, fully lined frog with French eye,
goatskin grip. and German silver wire lapping. Weight is 164 grams (haired).
I also provide violin and viola bows in select Pernambuco. Call about comissioning a custom bow.
