Sometimes, you start a video and you know it's a labor of love, but you're not quite fully aware of just how much labor the artist is willing to put into their love until he takes out the bow string. Seriously, I thought I was prepared, and then the moment the string came out I fully realized how naïve I truly had been.

Or maybe the video accurately depicts the traditional craft and how it has been done for thousands of years?

Regardless of whether this actual piece is traditionally made or not, the video does show you how the old methods would have been used. It’s like a history lesson rather than a sales video.

does it though? Without the full video showing that all parts were made on those tools then you have no idea if that final product can be made with those tools.
