ya i got a couple of those floor tillered kick board staves from rudders sitting in the shed yet,those i am keeping for when i find interested youngsters
hey pete i too made one of those boo/hick r/d kits,go for the boo/osage one.i was warned that hick didnt make that great of a belly wood.
didnt get the tiller perfect and it chrysalled on me

i have heard that the kit with boo/osage is better,thats my next kit. although a "real" stave is always prefered
