Bulkhead Replacement

Well, Today I got down to the dirty work and finally got the nav station bulkhead removed. What a mess. So tomorrow we pick up the new teak to replace the bulkhead and seal the ends before sanding and varnishing and installing it. All the rest of the teak trim is sitting downstairs awaiting a new finish. Here's a couple pics of the before and mid-stream of this project. This was a much bigger job than I thought.
The cushions have all been re-upholstered and look beautiful. A very nice royal blue colour. That should bring out the colour of the re-finished teak.
