So by the time it first gets up on the tiller the back is rounded.

Del, you talking the "back" as in the hickory side? I figured that wouls just have the corners rounded over and yes, I have done that far.
I was wondering about giving the belly the rounded 'D' cross-section that defines an ELB or warbow as the case may be.
