Tip Armor Bow Tip. Bass, 90 degree head angle.

Tip Armor? Violin family member bow tips are made of AMW-814, a polymer-linen composite. This recently developed polymer has been formulated for strength and flexibility and engineered in a way to allow artisans to work the material with ease utilizing standard carving and bow making tools. This material bends with finger strength and holds its bow tip curve for application without the typical process of soaking and press-forming. Simply bend the floor to the needed curvature and glue into place. Then shape, sand and carve as you would other bow tip materials. Several glues work well including hide glue and superglue (CA glue) which works very well. The material itself has a visible pattern in it that shows to any customs agent that it is not ivory or fossil ivory. Strength, beauty and ease of application are among the attributes of this new bow tip material that is fast becoming the industry standard.
