[C320-list] New England area Marine Teak Plywood Supplier?

[Chris Burti]

On our last boat, I used the several of the rails below to increase
the existing shelf fiddle height and add security to items stowed on a
shelf without losing visibility or closing in the the interior
visibly.

I fed the base across my table saw blade using a guide clamped at a
slight angle. With several passes raising the blade slightly, this
carves a nice cove in the base of the rail that matched the curve on
the top of the existing shelf rail.

I stained and varnished them to match the existing teak. The grain on
red oak is similar to teak or ash and unless you have a very
knowledgeable eye, you could not tell that they were not original to
the boat.

This project is on my list for Commitment....
