Each of the bows is a masterpiece of artistry, design and execution. Any is worthy of bow of the year. But I am just procrastinating on actually voting.

This is insane! Unbelievably hard to honestly choose between one godlike bow and another!
However I decided to go for Leon’s laburnum 5-curve because it’s such an unique piece :O !!

Yup, that five curve was my favorite, easy. I felt obligated to vote for my own bow, but I was surprised that 3 others did too. Congratulations Leaon, that is as beautiful a bow as I have seen on this site. Well done.
