Wow! You did a good job on that tiller Hammertime. She looks like she needed a lot of love on the tiller. Beyond my abilities at present. Nice bow.

That's one helluva piece of wood, you're a braver man than me!  I really like the looks of the ripples under the teak oil, pulled a nice bow out of it
