This is more of a holmgaard style,Truely a boxy tiller but after a 1000 or more looses it holds it"s profile!the magic of good white elm!
Some like motorboats,I like kayaks,some like guns,I like bows,but not the wheelie type.

 Thanks Ed  it moved it maybe a hair but it pretty much lined up right down the center of the handle I left the handle thick during ruff out just in case there where issues & I cut it closer to center this was one of those staves that every thing that I thought could be a issue never was a problem it was nice but I don't think I will try lightening the levers up so much that they started to flex and heat treating them rigid it worked but got lucky at least I know there at minimum mass....lol
