Holy cow, STOP IT!

Each of these would deserve a post of it's own. What a bunch of nice bows. Very nice work indeed. That angular bow is spectacular.

But I kinda ran out of working memory capacity halfway through the list.
Don't shoot!

Oh GEEZ, what a great looking bow.  I really like the contrasting woods and the painting on the back makes it a very handsome work of art.  Well done indeed.

Wow, so many nice bows! I really like the ipe bellied Hungarian bow! Awesome!

 the upper part is pressed down,
 the lower part is raised up,
 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."
