Got it pretty much tillered out. Its 47#@28" right now. Applied some faux snake skin I've been wanting to try and dogwood tip overlays. Doesn't look like I'll have any more time to work on it for at least a week.

Did the Native Americans think about all this that much or just do it?

Wow that's looking nice!
I admire the efficiency of the process. First getting three decent staves out of that bigger stave, chasing a ring, roughing out the profile, heat corrections, tillering, finishing, all this in a few days, probably in between a lot of other things to be done.
I never seem to be able to muster such dedication.
And the faux skins fool the eye very well, at least on computer.

Looks great man...those skins add a nice contrast with the belly and those bone white tips
  What kind of overlays are they?
