Mine is made from strips of teak maybe 1" x 2" laminated and screwed
together, with the strips oriented vertically. If you have room, I highly
suggest making it big enough to hang two anchors from.

I want to build an anchor platform that bolts to the bow and extends
off about 2 - 3 feet for safely deploying the anchor from. Usually
there is a roller installed through or on them.

Here is a company that is selling something similar to what I want to
build myself:

They are usually constructed of layed up strips of teak.

Thanks!

To be more specific, I am looking for the proper technique for laying
up strips of teak in a way that will produce the strength required for
a pulpit.

I have been suggested that it is sufficient to just epoxy and clamp
the strips. I have also been told that I should screw and epox the
strips together.

Additionally, I would like to put a channel in the pulipit for wiring
in order to put the nav lights on it.

Well, it will not be the first time I sounded dumb, but what exactly
do you mean by "pulpit"?

Hello,

I am looking into the option of custom building a teak anchor pulpit
for my 28 Cape Dory power boat. I was wondering if anyone could
help
me with some insight into the proper technique for doing this.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
