Blackbeard's Helm

       I came into a wheel from a member of the Glen-L Boatbuilders website forum and he shipped me this ancient ship's wheel that dates back to the very early 1900's.   Originally I had planned on rebuilding it, but as I began disassembling the pieces, they fell apart - completely dry rotten...   So I took the best pieces, made templates, and fashioned a new wheel out of Maple and Black Walnut.
