You did some fine work there sir!  I was wondering the same thing,  static tipped bow?

Oh, one more question...Since it is Bocote, what finish did you use?

Thanks for the comments everyone. Static tips? I haven't added anything to the tips other than phenolic for FF string. I'm not sure if I know what static tips are? The bow is smooth, fast and quiet.
I tried something different with the finish, Two coat of shellac to seal and 3-4 coats of poly. Tony
