reunited with bow

It’s auction season in London, so expert bow maker Peter Oxley spends his morning carefully appraising the stock and casually hoping for hidden treasure at Brompton’s. Today he has something very special to hand over... not a new discovery, actually my old bow stick - rejuvenated by a new handle! He’s holding the original frog and button in his right hand, the parts which presented the biggest challenges to remake. I’ve known him for as long as I’ve had this bow, since 2008, so I knew if anyone could make a success of it, he could, and he did; Pete, thank you so much!
