I was fortunate enough to get 3 pieces of 1.5" x 3" x 30" mahogany boards. Very nice dense wood and straight as an arrow. Wondering what is the best finish to put on these boards if they are used to make an anchor pulpit. Just oil them? Coat in epoxy? How about resin and veil cloth?
Also would like to glue up a few pieces of light wood to get that classic striped affect, but not sure what to use for the light wood. Suggestions are needed and welcome!
This is for the 16' bayliner to hang the anchor out front (24" Danforth anchor). Not a real big anchor, obviously, but the underside of the bow deck will be supported with a large triangle shaped piece of PT 1/2 ply so the weight of the anchor does not rip the pulpit free in pounding waves. (actually, I think there already is plywood in the bow deck, just want to be sure it will work). And I am getting tired of carrying that anchor through the opening windshield every time the boat is anchored.
Thanks,
Mark.
