You learn something every day on this site...I never saw the term "bowyer" before. Added it to my trivia store.
But I'm a native SOCAL kid....and Ben Hunter was an icon there when I grew up....
Prolly means nothing to most here...but if you are my age..and from SOCAL...you will "get it".
Besides all that......bois-d'arc wood..is a great bowyer's wood!!
Also trivia related...but actually called "bow wood"...probably by Native Americans........
