XIII. The rudder and the tiller

I'm not sure when dad built the rudder. He did a great job tho - with a nice curve to the fin and a head of layered mahogany.













Now it was time to build the tiller - a much more simple task.
Just find a big chunk of African Mahogany with a little arc to the grain, and then carve a sweeping curve to harmonize with the stern deck.
