Woohoo!!!!!!! Congratulations Steve. That looks great.  Very nice taper on the limbs and like that handle wrap.  I still need to give that Hackberry a try. I have some dandy staves that I brought back from the Classic but I'm never worked anything clean and straight so I'm not sure how to approach it :o ::)
