[Public-List] wood inset in hatches and seats

[Jeffrey]

This past winter I built a new aft hatch, cockpit locker hatches,  dorade
box, icebox cover ect.  I used African Mahogany instead of teak.  Dovetails
& epoxy glue.  None of these items has seen any weather yet.
Lots of work, but gave me something to do in the barn on winter evenings.
