And of course some bows are made of boughs (staves - usually of yew).

I didn't read bow (of a boat) or bough ( of a tree) but a bow as in this:

I bent over and showed you the "TRF Tosser Salute".
Seriously, it was apparently the master from which the smaller Bart Moon smilie that we all use was copied and reduced.

Apologies for the hijack, Bruce. Excellent B&W photo!

I should think you would be disappointed if a thread wasn't hijacked. That would mean no one was paying any attention to it.
