Re: Old Boat Gets A Facelift

Nicely done indeed.
What are the counter surfaces made from?
Could you have fitted fiddles?

Re: Old Boat Gets A Facelift

If you don't mind, will you show how you go about adding the fiddles?
I may do countertops myself one day and would appreciate the method of making and attaching fiddles. It's been one of the reasons I haven't tackled the job.
