Sanded the top of the rudder down to make final adjustments for it to fit nicely into the rudder stock.
More sanding on the rudder and stock. Tapered the leading and trailing edges of the rudder (first with planer, then belt sander, last by hand). Used general guidelines from the Blue Tang since there was no mention of doing this in the Truant plans.
Glued the rudder stock together. Used a few screws to hold it in place along with plenty of clamps.
The set of red cedar and curly maple pieces - tiller, stock, and rudder. Before epoxy.
