Bow Hardware Pieces

[enggass]

What do you call the pieces of hardware for the bow of the canoe. Some have holes for attaching a line to. Others just decorative and may run from the Bow deck, over the nose, and down the stem/keel line... Where can I find this type of hardware?
Thanks,
Steve

Well, there are stem bands, usually of brass that go around the stem and bend over the deck a ways. Then there can be painter rings of one type or another. Check the builders and suppliers on this site.
