Tree for the Tiller Man

Shaping a new tiller for Misty  has taken my attention these passed few days. Initially wandering in the bush to select a suitable piece of wood with a natural bend. Then sculpting away to reveal a suitable shape. I wanted fat  and I got it.    Daughter said it looked "like a tusk off something bigger than an elephant ". I'll take that as a compliment.    It compares favourably to the original and has more character and I know it's provenance having grown here on our land for may be a hundred years.
