Tom;
Thank you for your response.

Yes I have several projects.   One is a fancy teak folding boarding ladder
similar to
those depicted in "The Finely Fitted Yacht" Matte.   The Bronze is to
protect the
front of the ladder from dingys coming along side.   I have a brass half
oval on
right now but it doesn't look as good against the bronze ladder hardware nor
will it
wear well when we finally go to salt in our oft put-on-hold cruising plans.
As Sir
Humphrey is want to say to Jim Hacker in 'Yes Minister,' when asked when a
thing
would be done, "in the fullness of time Minister" - but I hope the big
cruise will be
sooner than that!

Another project is to protect the teak from the main car block which chews
it up on
the top with some bronze, and other misc chafing points.   I like keeping
the Cetol
on and in good shape.

Again, I appreciate you getting back to me and if you or anyone else finds a
source
of Bronze half oval or half round please let me know.  That is a fine
looking bow
roller by the way.
