Crafting Motif 106: Silver Rose Bows
by Chief Archivist Bartholomew
A description of what Silver Rose bows should look like
Like our namesake, the liveries of the venerable Knights of the Silver Rose have grown haler and more beautiful with each generation, tended by collective wisdom and guidance of our order. Here I record the essential elements of form and function in our arms and armaments as dictated by Prior Theirric [sic] Sarazen, Knight-Commander of the Silver Rose, 2E 579.
BOWS
Our bowyers almost exclusively work in Wrothgarian mahogany. Their techniques for shaping this notoriously rigid wood are so refined and subtle that they would appear—to the untrained eye—like a potter shaping clay. Hewing and sanding carefully along the natural grain coaxes an impressive springiness to the normally inflexible wood.
