Wow that’s some beautiful work. The technology they are using is crazy. They would probably charge me more than my whole boat is worth to do the work I want. Plus the stuff I’m doing is basic trim work. Nothing too technical. Just have to source the teak at a reasonable price which means private sales on marketplace when then pop up. I just have to have patience and diligence to keep an eye on the listings. The good thing about the trim is it does not hold me up for a second. I can set sail without a stick of teak and add it as I get it. Sure… I want it now but I’m far from sailing at the moment. I am aiming for Memorial Day weekend hopefully but I still need $1500 in sea cast and a gas tank as big ticket items.

Have the lengths/widths ready and call them to check if they have 2nds or off cuts that are long/wide enough.  What do you have to lose?

Spent a day milling some woodwork with the table saw and planer. Top is the original piece and below it is the reproduction piece so far. Still have to router the edges round and final Sind and shape. I will utilize a few of the original pieces and make the ones that are missing. I plan on finishing all the pieces with Sikkens Cetol. Great stuff.










Here is my process so far on repairing a broken corner on one of the coming boards. The color is a little off but I got the grain going pretty much in the same direction. I have it in the house so the wood burning stove in my living room can cure the Gorilla glue. I plan on shaping it tomorrow.

Came out more than acceptable. Can’t wait to coat it in cetol.
