29 Aug 22:
Finished shapin the thwarts with a 45 degree chamfer along the lower edge, primarily to lighten the look of the thick teak. I could have run the teak through the planer and thinned them down, but Skipper wants the weight. Once the ends were trimmed we attached the last set of cleats to the forward thwart with silicon bronze screws, piloted and counterbored with a combination Fuller bit.
The heavy hitters from this router bit set have been the 45 degree chamfer and the 1/4 inch roundover bit. And sometimes the flush bit.
A bit of TotalBoat Gleam Satin varnish for the seats.
Thwarts, gunwale and knees will get varnish. The rest will get a coating of paint. Teak oil might be considered down the road.
