They needed re making, as the old mahogany ones had passed their prime, cost wise to replace with the same wood was the cheaper option but in the long run teak was the choice. We had the right quality in stock, a timber yard did the machine work and Will did the joinery, as you can see he did an excellent job!
One margin board still has to be fitted, the planks are a healthy 16mm thick, this means better support and a longer life.
Will has done a great job of shaping and fitting this cockpit sole, the owner just loves the look and feel of real teak on his feet.
How nice is that!
