Question for you bowyers that build Wood Laminate bows. Is it better to round off the edges more so on the back or belly.? And why..?
I slightly round over the corners a wee-bit.

I round them all over equally,but if I was to be more concerned about one side than the other, it would be the back, as the rounding helps prevent splinters lifting on the edges when under tension.

I think Wayne is right get, back is probably more important, but rounding the edges of the belly well really helps prevent fretting on the corners.
I round all the cornes off really well nowadays. I also think it looks better.
