Well since my last post I have been busy working down in the cellar repairing my benches for the boat. I have sanded all the parts and am fixing a couple of cracks in a side step and in the front bench seat. I went to Morse hardwood and picked up a nice piece of white oak that I need to dress. I want to use this piece of oak underneath the crack in the front seat to stabilize the crack and give it strength when I epoxy everything together. Here are some pictures of the work.
The wood the bench seats are dirty in spots but I don't think I want to sand them clean for fear of removing too much stock. I have also run into a bit of a snag in that I ma trying to find the oval head screws in silicone bronze 1 3/4" but can only find flat head for any size. I may have to use flat heads but I like the original ovals. I can find them in brass but prefer the silicone bronze for durability.
