I liked the look of a laminated tiller. Using blue gum and hoop pine provided a nice contrasting color of the red colored blue gum next to the light-colored hoop pine.
The tiller plan is covered with plastic and clamping blocks screwed along the upper curve of the tiller's length.
The laminates are milled to 6.5 mm thick sections. A dry fit of the timbers is clamped in place to ensure the timber bends OK with no surprises.
The laminates are glued and clamped in place. Upper timber blocks are screwed down to ensure the sections are held down flat and prevent any twisting.
After leaving the tiller overnight I ran it through a thicknesser down to 18mm.
Edges routed next and the complete unit sanded to a smooth finish.
