We stripped the boat clean and began with a bare hull. Four woods on the exterior include teak, mahogany, African bubenga and African wenge. The very hard bubenga was used for the two hatches. We even went to a foundry here with forms to pour custom brass portlights for the saloon windows. The large, beautiful lazzaret hatch provides access for an outboard motor, that tilts down between two doors through the hull's counter.
Interior woods are ash, walnut, oak and teak.
The ash is spliced into the walnut as an accent trim under the portlights. The bulkhead passageway is trimmed in oak. All of the work was done at Porte Des Voyager boat shop in Independence, Missouri by shop owner JC Waters. I over did it a bit but it sure gets the looks and comments.
