Swim Platform Project
One of the joys of owning a boat with a lot of exterior wood trim is
the maintenance work. With 29 years in the sun and salt air, the teak in our swim platorm was getting thin, brittle and badly worn. After several years of patchwork repairs it finally seemed time to do the job right and rebuild the entire thing. No problem. In exchange of about a boat buck for freshly milled teak strips and a few new tools, the job is well underway. Here's a picture of a new strip being sprung into place with clamps and spacers: http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/921/swimplatformconstructio.jpg Notice the reflections in that fine looking transom. :-) The strips are 15 feet long, 1 1/2 iches wide and about 7/8ths thick, approximately 25 board feet before milling. Any suggestions for how to finish the teak when it is finished? |
