Fruits Of My Labor (A-113)

[Tony G]

No, that ain't no Alberg, is it? But it looks like it holds water out and that puts it way ahead of me!

I finished off the first toe-rail model this afternoon and put on the rub-rail profile. The rub-rail has to be shaped to a finer point on the ends but you can get the idea from these pics of what I'm going for. They will be capped with our factory stainless "half round". The question now is should we scrap the mahogany ones I cut a few years ago for some white oak? I had initially intended to keep the mahogany ones bright as this was going to be a fresh water boat that served as a floating lake home. My rational is the white oak can be sealed and covered with glass and paint minimizing the amount of maintenance.
