Nice job Don. I think I recognize the design on the back. Is that a N.E. design maybe?

Hell man, is there anything you CAN'T make a bow out of?  That tiller is perfect right there, and I dont believe it's got anything even worth callin set. Just beautifull and the decorations are just as fine. Glad ya posted this one.

I really like the design and paint job, but your tiller sir is a thing of beauty!  Outstanding in all regards!  Josh
