Is my fingerboard not ebony?

I noticed the side of my fingerboard is brown. It's a 100+ y.o. Parisian violin according to the label, which my luthier believes is authentic.

Why are the ends of bows pointy?

I know there would still be risk of poking my band mate's eye if the end was blunted, but I'd feel slightly safer.

我拿到了两把琴弓,但我不知道该如何选择

这两把是属于同一价位的,其中一把手感会更偏重一点,更贴弦一点,声响共振效果会好一点,另一把的话会偏轻一点,更有弹跳性。更有一种集中感。不知道该如何选择。如果有人想要看更多照片的话,可以评论,我会将更多的细节发到评论区
