Siewers Lumber in Richmond (804-358-2103) carries teak, mahogany and
lots of other beautiful woods. The teak is usually 5/4 and 6 to 10
inches wide. $14. a board foot . I redid the cockpit covers this year
they came out great. I routered out the old plywood. filled with
lightweight epoxy and epoxied in 1/2" teak strips 2 to 3 inches. I tried
sealing with teak oil but it did not hold up very well. I then tried
star brite teak oil tropical teak color. What a difference whatever the
make it out of Im sold . I sanded out the toe rails and did those too.
Nest the rest of the topside. Im not a varnisher.. good luck, If i can
be of help ask away..
