Tried playing it and it's a light action bow - 500 grams using Ed's one cm stop
Not to loud unless I push it (It's nice enough to take out in public) and right there for me every time on the fiddle(s)
It's got temporary hair and I have to change the tip ivory in that the fake ivory isn't here yet. Oh well.
I really wanted a stiffer bow ... around 800 - 1000 grams but this was a size for size with a unknown wood to me. (massaranduba)
Now I know... the numbers have to be fudged to the fat side

Please don't throw rocks at me for the photo quality
This was a fun project and can't wait to start another one and do it right
