You can purchase a new tiller from General Boats. It will have a thin coat  
of varnish and you will want to sand and give it several coats of varnish. 
I  have found six or seven coats will last many years.

Dennis,
Yes, I believe that was the finished bottom paint.   They had not added the 
boot stripe yet.  

Before you go to the  trouble to make a tiller, you might want to take a 
look at manufactured ones.  As usual, you can probably find them cheaper than 
at West Marine. I believe  someone on this list bought one, not sure exactly 
what model it is. -  rob

Thanks for the picture Rob. The hull looks real good, is that  the finished 
bottom paint?  Do you have the line to the dagger board  replaced regularly?
There is a lot of value to me from the picture.   The Rudder stick looks 
longer than I have seen before.  I was going to  make a new one for mine.
What length and material do you recommend?  I  was thinking about a piece 
of a LAM (laminated beam) custom cut and fit to the  rudder?
