Craftsman at the Tiller
Pictured (inset) is neighbor, craftsman and Cape Henlopen Industrial Arts Teacher John Dean. He is holding a tiller he made for his Tanzer 7.5 sailboat. It is made from Ash (for strength) and Honduran Mahogany (rot resistance and beauty) and finished with 9 coats of spar varnish. It is as nice to hold at it is to look at.
