Does anyone have pictures of any bows Bill Stewart made in the 1940s and the early 1950s???

Mr. Stewart worked for several major companies and designed many of their top models.  He designed the Damon Howatt Hunter, Eldorado,and Diablo.

While working with Bear, he designed the Kodiak Magnum, Kodiak Hunter, Tamerlane and had a big part in designing Fred's famous takedown.  

I believe he worked for Wing and Duke Savora before going on his own.

Bill is one of the most under-rated designers/bowyers that ever lived and has never gotten the credit he really deserves.
