Hillbilly:
Eddie, I've got Pat's stave that I'm working on roughing out today, I'll just send them both together in a couple days when I get Pat's finished laying out, save making two shipments. That'll give you one to lay out and one to tiller.
mullet:
Steve, That will work.

Mullet Here are some pictures where I am so far.It needs a little more tweeking .I will do that today and get it sent on to Koan sometime this week.It has about 2 in. of backset now but needs a little more propel la taken out and line the handle up a little more.I think 1 more heating will do it.It was pretty bad so most times it takes more than one straightening.

Is anybody here :).I got my part of Mullet's done today and will show some pictures in the morning.I will be sending to Brian
Tues. or wend.It has a couple of longitudinal cracks in it but I filled them with super glue and clamped them for a while,they should be fine since the don't run off,they are right in the middle.Someone had taken the bark off but not the sap wood so I don't know if that did it or it wasn't fully seasoned and when I put the heat to it ,it done it.If I take the bark off I always take sap wood also and seal the back if there is any question.Either way it will be fine.
