Default best wood for tiller

Agree with the previous posts re. laminated white ash for a sailboat
tiller;
An inexpensive source of the wood is in a solid ash hockey stick, if
you
can find one or more of them.



Less 60 miles from here is a company building hockey stocks from carbon
fiber and epoxy.

Last I heard has at least an 18 month backlog.

Ain't modern science wonderful.
