The craft or process of making bows, especially for archery or string instruments.
From 'bow' + 'making' (the process of making). This craft dates back thousands of years and was refined into an art form in medieval Europe and Asia.
Japanese bow-making (for instruments) and archery bows follow completely different traditions—Japanese bowmakers view the bow as having a spiritual quality, and the wood selection process is almost meditative!
