I will have pictures soon...

These pictures should be interesting... Ive never seen rotten teak before.

It must be the water and different aquadic organisms down there!
Kap,
Are you sure the rotten pieces were Teak?

Well, it's probably a happy accident that you discovered the bad wood now then.

This could have very easily resulted in a "Hottie Overboard!" situation

Kap,
It's always hard to tell from pictures but to me, the rotted pieces do not look like Teak. The grain (pores) isn't open like Teak is. I've got a feeling a PO did do some work on it!!

who knows..anyway if it was another wood it lasted some 11 years..at least thats when I bought the boat.

I will try shots from another angle...but I´m sure it´s teak. Not that I care..but if it wasn´t, the guy who fixed it now for me would have noted that also...

hey..any good creative idea to do with the scrap pieces I have? apart from the board of the pictures I have some of the top boards, one in complete lenght, and the other 2 in pieces..
I really don´t think using it as firewood as a nice ending for teak...

Gonna call you tomorrow. Planning on going to B.A. later this month.

Carve a mini correct craft replica for your key chain.

I should have told you to make two, one for the idea man. looks cool. I can't wait to see it with a few coats of varnish. Could Marty miniturize some graphics for you? Then you will just need a tiny little chrome bow eye to hook a key chain to.

Kap, I'd pay you good money for one of those scraps if we were on the same rock.

While on the topic, does anyone local have any old scraps big enough to reproduce the L trim piece in the 88's?

Kap, there's a Revesta Teak oil here, it works great as the wood sucks it and looks great. There's also a teak sealer to apply after.
