  I don't know if Dave phrased this quote or not but he did help make it a standard bow making rule by stressing its importance. I first heard it from Dave Mimms, " Never bend a bow any further than what it takes to expose an area that needs work". This phrase was gold as far as I am concerned.

I never met Dave in person but always read his posts and admired his fine manner and bows for several years on PP and on this site. DCM always had something good to say. You could always recognize his excellent handle work.
