   I can't remember the name I have my granddads and mauls that go along with them.He said he'd used them for spliting shingles. I 've got two sizes. I use it for OSAGE mainly. WORKS REALLY GOOD WITH MAULS not as much bending over.

Worked a little more on it today, got it to brace



Strings not tracking to bad






Not looking to bad, i think some scrapes out of the left fade and 1/3 way out on the limbs needs some work, pulling 50@17    Back to the shop  :)
