I round mine off belly and back. I agree it reduces concentrated force and I like the curves it produces in the visual effect. I think its the rounded curves on a bow that make it so sexy lookin. It all just flows.   Danny

Yes, Danny... flow... it's a goal and design factor in my bow making. I can count on one hand the number of times I've heard it mentioned by other bow makers.

Not all bows with flow exude a sexy or sensual quality, those are the really special ones, but I've never seen a sexy bow with corners or flat surfaces. Just my opinion. Of course this is all very subjective.
Straight wood may make a better bow, but crooked wood makes a better bowyer
