Backed w/Eastern Diamondback and put a John Strunk style laced grip and Beavertail rest/sideplate on it. Brushed on Poly on the skins and Tru-Oil on the belly.

Very nice!! Tiller is excellent, I think John would approve of the handle wrap.

I know, I gotta pay my dues.  I am at the point now where I can get a perfect tiller (for a little whie) and it changes after being shot in.

This is an example of a beautiful tiller.
