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:

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?

I just used teak oil on the thwart of my daysailer.


You shouldn't use esoteric boating words (thwart) in this newsgroup;
some of the spoofers won't get it.

~~ Snerk ~~ I see what you mean!

Now Don, do you really think anyone would think you and Harry are not up
to your old tricks of insulting?

They never stopped. It's obvious that being well behaved is beyond their capabilities. Too bad. Were it not for those two, we could have cleaned up rec.boats.

Interesting, I wondered if it was the same Krause as in rec.boats.
Apparently he is faking it with the politeness.

I recall an election bet for $100.00 one year. He denied the bet and
refused to pay up and send a check to Make a Wish.


Water over the bridge and I am sure there is another side to the story
nobody here wants to hear...


There is no other side to the story, you ****ing moron.

The truth is the truth and there is no amorphous area where "can't we
all get along?" is living.

I'm astounded at the lemming-like behavior of so-called adults.


Hey, Wally-World, I never bought into this latest détente. I'm just
laying low right now waiting for things to return to normal.
