New Tiller

Post by Peter T »

Hi all. Here is a couple of shots of the new tiller so far. It clears the knees perfectly. Just need to shape up the stainless a bit and polish it and apply several coats of marine varnish. Made it up out of a plank of Huon Pine I had laying around waiting for the right project to come along for it. Beautiful timber to work with.
