Flat, flat, flat. Flat as a pancake. Flatten it as flat as it will go and then make it flatter.  :) I've never had much luck with hickory and crowned bellies.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

I agree. Flat belly. As strong in tension as hickory is maybe go with a slightly trapped cross section; narrower at the back than the belly.    Pat
