« on: February 11, 2012, 09:08:23 pm »
i was wondering what you guys thought of this tiller before i finished it up, its somewhere between 150-160 @32, although i have not gotten that far yet, ill hopefully have a more accurate number once i get a stronger scale,  i almost forgot its hickory

Stay with the classical style, plain with your bowyers mark.  8)

the only reason i was thinking leather is i found with the ash that the wood gets dirty were i hold it and i thought hickory would do the same
