Very nice indeed!  That tiller looks great.  I got a nice piece of ipe to work on but I can't decide what to do with it.  After seeing this, another shorty might be in order.  Josh

That's a really fine job, Bub, I still haven't had the guts to shorten mine, even with a bendy handle. It's still 66". After seein yours, though, maybe I'll work up the courage.

Nicely done Bub. Tiller is spot on. If I could only get mine to round out like that I would be happier than a pig in the mud.  Danny

Very nice Bub!! Love the shorties. I think they really test a guys skills.  I may take a run up to Bend latter this spring for Business might just have to swing by your place and see if you'll let me fling a couple with that shooter :) .... I promise not to draw it more than 23  >:D

thank's APH
prairie it's plain sawn, and what I've used for backing has been great, as far as draw, use short arrows,with 25-26" arrows the broadhead will let you know when to stop pulling, that arrow in the full draw has a piece of tape so i knew i got to FD, i usually use the timer for the FD but i wanted to hit the mark and told my wife when the tape disapered take the pick,Bub

That makes alot of sense.  thanks.  I'll have to try to do a shortie soon.
