About

Alex Moro is a bow maker living in Port Townsend, Washington. Using the finest wood, Alex works with great precision to release the utmost potential in every custom bow. He believes this care translates directly into the musician's hand, exuding confidence. Additionally, he draws artistic inspiration from the beauty and grace of pelagic birds.

Before becoming a bow maker, Alex worked on repair and restoration of historic wooden boats. His appreciation for nautical design and fine detail led him to bow making and eventually a formal training with Christopher Dickson in 2020. He then studied with Ole Kanestrom and received guidance from Charles Espey. During this period he developed an appreciation for old bows, particularly the ingenuity and raw expression found in makers like Francois Tourte, Persoit, and Pajeot. Alex is a member of the International Pernambuco Conservation Initiative (IPCI) devoted to sustainable use of Caesalpinia echinata, the primary wood in modern bow making.

After hours, you might find Alex sipping wine to the tune of a good opera while his family makes dinner together.
