In my Top two memorable all time favorite bows I've seen here yet.

Why do you round the bellies on the flat bows?  Does it do something?

Scott, I like a slightly round belly simply because it is pleasing to the eye and touch. But I will only do this with woods that will allow it such as yew.

I just love that bow Gordon.....and I still have not finished my hickory bow to do my first handle wrap. :)

Maybe one day I can reach just half the skills of you guys...I am always impressed and amazed.
