Also want to be able to enclose the interior. The construction next to my house is making some serious dust so I need to be able to enclose the cabin before I start any serious varnishing.
First step is to clad the door frame with teak veneer.
Starboard side.
After door jamb is added.
Since the interior frame of the door is pretty much done, I started to lay out the framework for the door. The top will have a sliding RV window. The bottom will have a veneer plywood insert. This is actually mahogany, which I bought before I realized the interior was teak!
I will attempt to stain the mahogany to try to match the color tone of the teak, before I varnish it.
This is the teak molding after 4 coats of Epifanes Woodfinish gloss varnish. Today, I put a final coat of Epifanes varnish with UV inhibitors.
This is a close up of the teak molding. There is some variation in the tone from one to the other, but I see a golden tone. I bought some Golden Mahogany stain to use on the door. We'll see if that works.
In the last couple of days, I built the frame for an enclosure above the settee. It will house the wire terminal strip for the mast as well as a couple of puck lights. I have a nice black Seth Thomas clock that came with the boat that I think will look nice mounted on the front.
This is the beginning frame work for an electrical chase that will take the wires from the starboard side to the port side.
Off to Las Vegas tomorrow for a boys weekend, so work will commence back next week.
