Real wood bends and warps.


Real wood surface coloration is not uniform.

The galley wood, nav wood and aft + forward cabin wood is all solid
teak.

Only the fiddles. The cabinet sides are ply with veneer.

The sliding panels and bulkheads & doors are veneer. Why haven't
my real woods warped? More importantly...why does the wood in typical
Cape Dory 33 still look great? Why don't the woods in a Tartan 34 warp
and fall apart like Mooron's. All of these boats have real wood. Some
have more than Mooron's and yet none look as bad. Tell us why.

Use? Perhaps your boat hung on its lines at the dock, or worse yet sat on a
cradle or jackstands, for 16 years. Mooron uses his boat for parties,
sailing, hanging out with youthful females, eating in. Did I mention
parties?
