I am decorating a big office and already have some interesting nautical pieces, including a 12 foot oar on a wall. I would like to find an old large tiller for similar mounting. Would love any help I can get.

Had a flat, looking for a tire.
Please ship it COD to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Washington, DC. If its the wrong size my buddy Dick can use it. Thanks a lot partner.

Unusual tillers
Try ebay. When I was looking for a replacement tiller for my boat, I kept tabs on the items offered at ebay. Every now and then, something really cool would come up; I remember someone was selling a pair of carved tillers; one had a mermaid figure carved into the end, the other a beautifully figured abstract. Another listing was a really long tiller made of some exotic African wood that was so dense it didn't float. One tip: add the phrase "boat" or "sailboat" to your ebay search or you will wind up with hundreds of garden tiller listings.

Give Brent a Call,
Or email him. Here's the scoop. Brent has some spars from an old sailing ship. These are genuine articles from a turn of the century gaff-rigged sailboat. They look great in his house. He's moving (or has already sold the house, not sure which), and recently asked me if I was interested in buying one. Tell him what you're looking for, and I bet he can work something out if he still has them. He owns Sunset Charters in Grapevine, TX
