[Public-List] Tiller dimensions, especially width

Sun Jun 11 13:50:44 PDT 2023

The finish on the tiller, if it's like the one that I got from Ruddercraft,
would benefit from additional coats of varnish.  This past spring,
I sanded the one that I got from Ruddercraft. Due to weather and
other conditions, was able to apply four coats of Epiphanes High Gloss
per instructions (first coat half varnish/half thinner, etc.).   Much better
finish that the finish from the factory.
