Getting a factory stick from Bob would be the easy way. My original was in bad shape and that's what I did. Solid mahogany (with a strip laminated on the leading edge). A really nice stick of lumber. Original was also solid mahogany, but laminated from a number of strips. At the very bottom, the blade is 12 inches fore and aft, so unless you have access to a really nice board that wide, strips have to be glued up. A lamination is less likely to warp. Width is 1.5 inches. About 6 feet tall. At the time I was building an experimental windvane for Audasea, so I used the new one as a pattern to build a "disposable" replica from a lamination of marine plywood. Somewhere I have the overall dimensions. If you enjoy woodworking, it's a fun project. The only really hard part is fairing the bottom to a nice symmetrical foil shape. Plywood works, but is not nearly as nice as the mahogany sticks. Howard On Sep 9, 2008, at 4:55 PM, Bob From California wrote:
