Folding Tiller on Janus

After looking at a few samples on the Alberg site I decided to try my own. The first test was a failure because of cracking in the bends. The second test turned out fine. It has eleven layers of mahogany cut at 3/16" on the table saw. This was made with simple tools, table saw, belt sander and band saw to cut the stainless hinges. If anyone has any questions or would like the blank for bending or the pine tiller to experiment with just let me know.

South: The Endurance Expedition Shackleton's near-fatal journey to the Antarctic has received a lot of press in recent years. This is Shackleton's own account—quiet, understated, and riveting. It also describes the travails of the Aurora expedition, intended to lay the groundwork for Shackleton on the other side of the continent.
