You should always let the stave tell you the finer points that needs to be done.
I try to put all my heart and soul in each bow. Each bow I build to fit the person it's for but at the same time I build each bow as if it was for me.
No hurry If my heart or mines not in it. I do something else sometimes a couple days. I like looking it over. Wait a day and look ,you can see flat spots you did'nt see yesterday.
I like carveing anything no matter what the materal or what ever. I try to let the peice tell me what to do. I can just do it.
