Now for a mistake. I didn't like the color of the bowcap at first, so I bought a pot of colouted varnish and painted that on the bow. I got the same color as the ply, but it looked like a cheap second-hand cupboard. So I decided (after some help from Peter Tait) to get the color off, and return to the original 'honest' wood. It looks fine now, as all the other pieces are fir too.
