[C320-list] Strange piece of wood

[Graeme Clark]

I’ve got several onboard - my guess is they are used to space the liner from the hull or something like that  whilst it’s all cured and glued up!  I found a few in the aft locker under all the steering gear whilst i was fitting a below deck autopilot last winter. I had assumed they were put there by the previous owner, until I saw your post!
