Does the linseed oil play another roll other than helping the polish not to stick?

Thanks, I will try this.

Can anyone recommend a filler for pores on a bow stick?

I was wondering about adding camber or straightening.

I have heard that some bow makers use CA glue as a filler for a smoother finish on bow sticks. Does anyone have experience with this process? Will the CA glue filled pores be noticeable after French polishing the stick?

Thanks much! It's a sizable investment.

Does anyone know if this manual includes cello repair as well as violin?

Does anyone know where I might find hardware such as the collar and screw in this removable wooden endpin? I would like to try making one.

I imagine it can be found at an auto supply store. Thanks, this is very helpful!

I have seen a self stick, thin leatherette material on the stick above the frog on some bows and I am looking for that material. Apparently, it helps players who sweat a lot to grip the bow better. Does anyone know about where to track this down?

I sent an email this morning to B&H London to see if they have any records regarding from who they bought bows.

I think it helps to confirm that the company bought bows from top makers.

Lynn Hannings said that there are Sartory bows with the Hawkes & Sons brand.

Great, thanks!

I believe there was a silver cap at the end of the button or there would still be the ebony rim around the pearl eye. Is there a list of bow makers who worked in the Bazin shop? This is probably worth running by my bow mentor, Lynn Hannings. I'll let you know what she thinks.
