It looks like teak when new, so much so that the fellows at the lumber yard rub it to make sure they are not giving me teak! Teak is more oily and if the wood is not marked often that's the only way to tell it apart from teak. It does age to a richer chocolate color than teak and resembles old time boats faster then fresh teak would.<br />The figured wood panels are figured teak. <br />Cheers, DonDonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07034740563362780956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669813322874788478.post-63779845527669812010-01-23T15:12:16.367-08:002010-01-23T15:12:16.367-08:00Lovely bulkheads.

I'll scratch my head and think about doing the same myself.<br /><br />I have a blog about my boat at Kalitsah.blogspot.com which is a little neglected, but reading yours I'll endeavour to update the thing again soon.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />David Fisher.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
