I have a 1923 Clyde Day Sailer that has been somewhat neglected and the
problem
I want to sort out is the deck. the deck is made od tongue and grooved pitch
pine
boards about 4" x 1" and over time they have shrunk and bowed.
I would like to restor this to what it was. and cover it with Canvas in the
traditional way.
Do you think the boards will swell if I wet it and keep it wet for some time
?
or do you think I should replace the whole lot with new?

Also, has anyone used "antifreeze" in wood preserving and what where the
results like?

Cheers

Bob
