Topic: Cross sections of korean bows

I would like to know about the cross-sectional shape of the wooden cores of Korean bows. Is there any standardization among Korean bowyers, and can you tell me how or why the shape is attained? Some bows look to have sharply defined rectangular cross section but it is difficult tell when the sinew and the horn is attached. Others look to have much less sharply dedined cross sectional shapes with smoother and rounder edges. Which is most preferable for what type of bow? Sorry if my questions seem a little vague or overgeneralized.
