Teak Cockpit Grates

Never an easy thing to make but they do last and they do look good,they also work well under bare feet or sailing shoes.

These are over ten years old now,they have been serviced twice,as some joints will always come free on the glue line,which is just about all that holds them together.A good wash with oxalic acid and a light sand with a 60 grit orbital sander soon has them looking quite new again.

Special shapes such as in this boats center cockpit,will require a template which you can supply in thin cardboard.Squares and rectangles are just size related.

How hard can this be? (takes a long time though!)
