In the late Roy King's personal copy of The Traditional Bowyer's Bible Volume Three, he annotated the start of one section with ' READ THIS AGAIN & AGAIN !'.

Guess which section?

Something about the bowyer had to learn what the wood "does" from experience, not his book?
Possibly in an early section about selecting wood.

Sorry, not this time.

In the spring of 1994, Jim Hamm (the editor of Bowyer's Bibles) sent Roy King a copy of vol 3 with his thanks for his help.

No, Roy hadn't contributed or is mentioned in this section of the book.

If you don't have the book, have a guess at the subject matter of the section.

shaping the wood?

Nearly all the sections in the book come under that heading!

Paul Comstock's chapter on preventing and solving problems?

dealing with knots?

Good try.

This is not a whole chapter, just a small part of one.

It's not in Paul Comstock's chapters

Not knots.

A new idea!

Theoretical designs in the Bows of the world chapter? (just going through the sections I keep referring to!)

Not that one.

In the section we are looking for he underlined over a hundred word in pencil.

He didn't underline a single word in the 'SOME THEORETICAL DESIGNS' section.

Another very good guess.
