Canundrum

[Carlton]

Hi Folks,
I'm nearing the completion of a 1938 Old Town sailing canoe. One item I'm missing is the brass or wooden-jaw gooseneck.
Either I cut one out from mahogany stock or find someone who has a brass one for sale. Can anybody offer suggestions?
Thanks!

Thanks Gray!

It would be easy enough to make if you could find a brass rod.

I reached out to Bob Lavertue and he’ll be making one for me.
