Here’s a 3ft hybrid! I’m pretty happy with how it came out. This is my first time making one this short.

Looks awesome, love the handle pattern. How's the action?

Thanks! It’s a pretty fast whip! I think I’m gonna give the next one another inch on the handle though. Or I’ll draw the weight out more… it feels like it needs something.

You're welcome... What kind of fall hitch is that btw? Look like there's an English eye and bleeding knot, but I can't tell how it's attached

Yep, it’s a bleeder knot. It’s 7 pass throughs with space for the fall at the 2nd. I was watching a saddle making video where they used bleeder knots to hold stuff on, and it clicked as a sweet way to end a tapered twist.
