I made some tillers for sale. All are Laminated mahogany and ash with the curve molded into it. Then they are split down the middle with ash and mahogany stiffeners glued in them. Making the tillers light (3 lbs) and strong. They come varnished with 1 sealer coat and three coats of Epifanes varnish. I have two styles available, a traditional style with mahogany on top or the blonde version with ash on top.

Price is $225 includes shipping.

I can be reached at 978-590-7074 or e-mail at lbuxton30@comcast.net

Wow! Those are beautiful. No problem with cracking in the hollowed out areas?

In bench tests compared to my solid tiller it deflected less. Now in the real world If your broaching in 25+ with the spin up you got more problems then the tiller breaking.

I am not sure I have any problem with this tiller, but do encourage class members to be vigilant about complying with Class rules. Since my posting is fundamentally about rules, I posted it in this rule thread (owners only) and encourage comments.
