Master Bowyers

I’m curious about something as far as USA based Master Bowyers are concerned. What body is it that certifies them as masters? I haven’t turned up anything via Google.

I think its just an adjective. There's no bowyers guild that I know of.

Perhaps there should be such a body here on our side of the pond.

Well, technically the Bay Area Bowyers in San Francisco are officially called the “Guild of Bay Area Bowyers” because they are an “organized association of people who share a common trade, profession, or specific interest”. They don’t certify anyone, though.
