Favorite bow woods (asthetic)
« on: March 11, 2010, 07:03:00 PM »
Thought it would be fun to see what your guys favorite bow woods are for looks. Would love to see pics of the bows too if you can. Just thought that this would be kinda neat and I can't see anything in the search so I hope to God that this hasn't been done yet.
