The tiller looks a little stiff on the tips.  Take a bit more weight off there and you will reduce your handshock.  Other than that, they look great!!!   >:D

Looking forward to seeing them split and see what is inside. Most of the time it is amazing what you find in them old post,and sometimes disappointment.Will Hope for the best. :) :) Either way it makes good fire wood /Knife handles/tip overlays and all sorts of other neat stuff. :)

Last time I was down south in the land of yellow wood, I went out on dads ranch and cut a nice walking stick.  was working away on the top when I realized it was full of them ol fire ants. Didn't feel the stings very much at first ::) then I started finding out how far up the legs they had made it. :o >:(

If you have a stave that you suspect has grubs in it just place it on a fire ant bed and tomorrow you won't have grubs any more. When the grubs are gone the fire ants go back home.  ;)
