Here are some photos of my Morko and tiller .

Shaft is Wild Cherry . I copied the tillers head from a viking ship head from a book called The Ship .

Hammered copper butcap .

Although the original tiller stock may not have looked much like your interpretation, the outcome is really fantabulous.

Again: how about founding and drilling a barrel of a length of one meter? Can you do that?

Best,
Michael

I must say I really like your tiller, even if it is unlikely that the original would have had such a nice design. I presume that you have fired it and I am curious about overall and maximum accurate range.
