Some bowyer goes moody and makes a palm crossbow. Woohoo, legendary bowyer.

Except, I already had a legendary weaponsmith, pumping out masterwork crossbows for my marksmen.

Superfluous bowyer is superfluous. Just like before his mood, he's still just a Goblin ambush detector Fisherdwarf.

It doesn't matter as much in 31.xx, but you do realize that metal crossbows hold very little advantage over bone ones, and using the bowyer instead of making metal ones will save you resources and get your army equipped faster, right?
It matters if your dwarves decide to use them as sledgehammers instead of the ranged weapons they are.

Thats easy to solve!  Just make sure those marksdwarves are also equipped with all the artifact toy hammers/maces/axes yer idiot legendary crafters are turning out.  :o :D

Note that this was made with one item.
So it is encrusted with it's self.

I had a 600,000 gold value silver high boot built today. It was encrusted with every feasible jewel we had and bearing the image of a dwarf being laughed at by a circle of other dwarves, presumably the idiot who would wear a flamboyant single boot like this one.

Yeah, same here. A shield which took a total of 50 bones (2 stacks of 17, 1 of 16) make a camel-bone buckler, with no decorations. Made by a possessed kid. At least here it's actually useable.

Iseth Astas, The Quest of Rogues, A dog bone table

This is a dog bone table. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality.

Valued at a whopping 1200 dwarf bucks.

I placed it in the very center of my main dining hall.

The dwarfs don't even notice it. Nobody has even had a thought about it, good bad or otherwise.

(thank god for my legendary cook and boozecrafter, and my legendary engravers who decorated the hall. They keep everybody sane. I unknowingly embarked in a reigon with no contact to anybody but dwarfs. There are two 'Unnamed Amphibian man civilization's though, so I'm still training an army to conquer the underworld. Then my dorfs shall dine in HELL!)

They will run, naked, into the caverns and roll around in whatever nearby filth is available.  Watch for gory explosions.

I actually had the fortune of getting an artifact green glass bucket, so I combined it with my rainbow trout chain and some clear glass blocks and master work obsidian mechanisms and built the dwarfiest well ever. Dwarves get ecstatic just looking at it.

A possessed planter was hauling bones and wood and stones and whatnot to the claimed craftsdwarfshop. And what did we get? A dog bone amulet of the finest craftsdwarfship, worth 1200. Nothing else.

Guys, bone artifacts are boned due to bug. All decorations vanish.
