Selfbowman:
Seems like the old grouchier ones make the best bows.🤠🤠🤠🤠

Jim Davis:
If your after performance, design, material and execution are all important. If you're after meat, the archer matters more than the bow.

bentstick54:
I  have to agree with Jim.

Burnsie:
Dean speaks of making his handles cylindrical, showing how to shape them using his facet reduction method.  Does anyone know what the approximate diameter of his handles were? Is it basically dictated by the handle width that is used when initially laying out the bow on the back of the stave?
