Fantastic again, Francesco!

Interesting to see that you have kept the tips quite unsecured on this bow, even though it is drawing a lot. I think it looks scary, hehe, but apparently it is not a problem?

Are you glueing the sals straight on your bows?

Indeed: amazing, beautiful work! Please confess that you have a time machine and purchase these bows of yours in historical Istanbul!

Impressive! How do you make such fine details in the artwork? You must have a brush with like three whiskers on it!
