Yeah, Bub, that's what we like! Glad for the before and after pic, that shows what a good bowyer can do on a crooked stick.
Also like your stain and finish work, I know what walnut dye is but have no idea about a rattle can finish???
Forgot to say your tiller is impressive, nice work all around.

Looks like a straight-forward unpretentious piece of work. I'm bettin' it'll make meat. Clean and to the point. Nice job.

Transformed that one from bit of ugly duckling into looker of a swan.  Congrats!

I do love to see what some people can do with staves that are not perfect, "because the majority of them are not perfect". 

Great job Bubby!

BTW, Blackhawk got his wish at Elm Hall when I gave him a piece on Tennessee black locust.
