Or, how about Iroko. I use it instead of teak on my Ingrid 38, for rail caps
and interior trim. It was $3.55/bf from EdenSaw, here is WA. Here are a couple pictures of sections of the caprail and rudder cheeks. http://www.hctc.com/~esteve/INGRID%20PICs/caprai~1.jpg http://www.hctc.com/~esteve/INGRID%20PICs/windva~1.jpg It is admittedly dark, compared to Burmese teak but I like it. It would be lighter if I got the Cetal on before the surface darkened. Iroko doesn't bend well and if you leave it to weather naturally, it doesn't do as well as teak. Interior trim, that I haven't vanished or sealed yet, continue to darken to almost a walnut color. In this picture I show a teak door with Iroko trimmed frame. http://www.hctc.com/~esteve/INGRID%20PICs/teakdr~1.jpg The arched beam in the foreground is Iroko. -- My experience and opinion, FWIW -- Steve s/v Good Intentions |
