The slide on the frog of a bow serves a physical purpose, but it is also a part of the bow that can showcase beautiful material. Makers use all kinds of materials for the slide:
Carbon-fiber (Coda bows)
Silver (plain or inscribed)
Gold (plain or inscribed)
White Pearl
Yellow Pearl
Abalone
Goldfish (Awabi)
Silverfish
…and more
Enjoy this photo of a particularly beautiful slide!
