Dark hardwood handle with a lighter colour head. 13” long total, 5” x 2-3/8” head, with a 1” groove. Drilled to accept a bolt for spools of your choice of serving material.

Great size for a ditty bag or to take aloft for seizing ratlines, this Tiller & Gaff heaver has a hardwood head 2.5” x 1.75” and a 3/8” bronze rod handle with a handy lanyard hole. 6.5” long total.

Larger 14” version of the simple seizing stick from Tiller & Gaff, for a bit more leverage when using wire or twine. I believe these are actually larch instead of hickory but I’m not positive. Best for working vertically when you can walk around the shroud or block strop being seized. Coated with linseed oil.

Good general purpose-sized hardwood mallet with stout oak handle, drilled to accept a bolt for attaching a spool of your favourite spunyarn, marline, or seine twine. I’d use this on 1/2” up to about 1-1/4” fiber or wire. 12” long, head is 5”x2”

A very pretty hardwood turned stick, which can be used for either serving or seizing, made by Tiller & Gaff. 9” long. Great ditty bag size!

This is a handy-sized Tiller & Gaff product, ideal for seizing up to 1/2” or 5/8” shrouds, with either small seizing wire or seine twine size 72 or smaller. Seizing sticks let you do a fast, tight seizing, when set up vertically so you can walk clearly around the piece of gear. Hickory tool handle, shaped to lead the seizing material cleanly, branded with Luc’s logo, and coated with linseed oil. 10” long

Another hardwood Tiller & Gaff product…a very handy small size with a nicely turned handle. Use with a helper or slide the spool of serving spunyarn, marline, or twine right onto the handle after loading the mallet. 7” long, with a head 2-1/2”x1-3/4”

This is ideal for use with a 1 pound spool of seine twine. Nicely made by my friend Luc Maheu of good hardwood and brass fittings, with his Tiller & Gaff logo. 14” top to bottom, head is 3”x2”. 6-3/4” between metal tabs for twine spool.
