New octagonal mandrel for making octagonal button rings. Formed out of O1 tool steel and heat treated. Still needs a little clean up but it’s very precise! #toolmaker #millingmachine #bowmaker #archetiet #luthier #metalworking #heattreatment #adbowsllc
Oh hi 👋
Very crisp right off the liner forms. #bowmaker #archetier #luthier #silversmith #adbowsllc

Some quick phone photos of a pair of special order his & hers violin and viola bows. #violin #violinist #violinbow #viola #violist #violabow #hisandhers #bowmaker #archetier #luthier #classicalmusic #handmade #handtools #handcrafted #woodworking #customwoodwork #metalworking #silversmith #madeindetroit #detroitmade #michiganmade
