The back of that bow is very square, have you taken a look at the images of MR cross sections?

Looks stunning to me.  Clearly a well designed, functional warbow.  Love the lightness of that Polish yew as well, very nice.

yes
profile is a rounded square
because the wood is a little hardwood, and with D shape makes a much string follow

sorry for my english

Impressively small amount of string follow and great tiller. 
I think Ian is just making the point that many Mary Rose bows have a larger radius on either side of the back not the belly. 
Someone is in for a nice bow from you but it would be worth you quoting the draw-weight at 32" as well as 28" as most warbows are.

Yeah in all respects a nice bow there. When I shoot bows, as fussy as I am, I always find it very uncomfortable shooting one that has very square edges whereas bows with more typically rounded sections are more comfortable.

Nice bow, I like the knots in the wood.
