2Mogs - 2Bows!

Now the new bow, and the arrows, are ready, both old and new bows are sitting up on the wall, waiting to be drawn into action.

Seeing them both together feels really interesting.
My self-made flat bow, which i thought looked quite smooth when i first made it, now seems crude in comparison to the Bickerstaffe. However, it still has a weighty and rugged simplicity, even beauty.
The Bickerstaffe itself looks fine and elegant, reserved, yet full off power.

Knowing one was made by myself, and another by a top craftsman also feels good. I have great pride in both cases.
I am enjoying the contrasts very much.

Of course the temptation is to make another (more) to add breadth to the comparison...!
