The rabbit lost his tail cause the fox tricked him and told him to stick it thru the ice to catch fish he became stuck and the bear snatched him out by his ears leaving his bushy tail behind and streching his long ears... Cherokee story "how the rabbit lost his tail" :)

Get a low brace on it early.

Why???


Pope, in the chapter tell you after roughing out this thickness taper, tell you to brace the bow and begin tillering. That's how I didn't it. Turned out great.
